The art of a cheesy flirtation is a very delicate one. You can’t just fling that shit out there. The time has to be right for it to work. Mick has much to learn on this.
This drink is one a gal introduced me to back in 2002. I had a bottle of Jager in my freezer that I rarely touched, because Jager is the devil’s own concoction. She claimed that she had a cocktail recipe for it, and I called her out on this. Turns out? Pretty fucking good.
– 1 shot Jagermeister.
– Ginger ale
Pour into a cocktail glass on ice, add a squeeze of lime or lemon.
Turns out? Tasty as shit. Try it!
Having played with it, I gotta say: Tannerite is god damned fun.
That’s Ginger Ale? Looks more like liquid Kryptonite.
Of course, that’s not a bad analogy for any drink that includes Jager.
I have to say, I’ve had a cocktail that was more unusual than that. For my bachelor party a few years back I went to New Orleans. There was far less debauchery than most people get up to, but I was alright with that. For the final evening it was just myself, my brother and a friend. We departed the French Quarter to check out a cocktail place a little off the beaten path. It was called Cure and I highly recommend it. If you’ve never had the opportunity to go to a cocktail bar where the workers truly know their craft, one of the most enjoyable aspects is to request something not on the usual menu. Far from being a chore, these folks are often happy to do so. I decided to roll the dice and asked the bartender to make me the most bizarre concoction he’d ever thought of.
Sadly I didn’t pay enough attention to report the recipe, but there are two ingredients that I am sure went in. Cynar, an herbal liquer made partly from artichokes. The second was what really pushed it over the edge; Dijon Mustard. It all came together in a magnificent blend of deliciousness.
One Fourth Coke, One Fourth Mtn Dew One fourth Cream Soda, one fourth Malibu Rum, Nuka Cola Quantum, Da Bomb.
so thats a tablespoon of coke? lol
Yeah, mixing drinks… Sometimes fun. Mostly… not so much! 😀
jaeger and coke.
adds something i think. i like it.
I love seeing someone else use the word “Grok” appropriately! Heinlein was brilliant!
Me too. 🙂
He’s one of my major life influences.
Three parts orange juice, one part milk, one part Liqor 43(or JD if you’re me). Maybe add some ice cubes, and mix. Tastes like those little Split icecream thingies everyone around here used to have as a little kid.
Warning: you won’t notice your alcohol intake. At all. Once you’ve consumed enough, you might start to add more Liqor or JD.
DON’T.
What’s the big deal with Jagermeister? It’s not that bad..
I drank that almost every night, for a year. My local bar sort of had the “Jager-bomb” as its national drink, but I couldn’t stand that Red Bull shit. So I’d order a “Jager, no bomb”.
(Annnnd, eventually, that was enough of that)
Because that shit is the devil.
Oh sure, it tastes delicious. I like it chilled as a straight shot, and I even like it in Jagerbombs. But after half a bottle of it, I’m running around with no pants, on a cruise ship in a stolen tourist sombrero, forcefully trying to teach a German couple how to beatbox.
No thank you. Way too many stories. Unlike other alcohols (vodka, tequila, heh, I always end up going back), I have been 4 years without Jagermeister, and I feel I’ve been better for it. If nothing else, I don’t miss the incredibly brutal hangovers.
I humbly present the Dead Nazi.
1/2 Jager, 1/2 Goldschlager in a shot glass. It works even better if the Jager is chilled. It tastes a lot like the old Atomic Fireball candy. Enjoy.
Add a shot of Rumple Minze and it becomes a Screaming Nazi.
I guess I’m the odd man out here, but I like Jagermeister!
One cocktail that has become rather popular in the Goth clubs on the west coast is the Red-Headed Slut: free-pour a shot of Jager into Red Bull over crushed ice.
I will have to try the Ginger & Jager tho…
…It’s not so much that we don’t =like= it – most of us love the hell out of it; the problem is what it turns us into…
,,,=O!O=,,,
The Red-Headed Slut I was introduced to is equal parts Jager, peach schnapps and cranberry juice.
Ice cold vodka poured into a martini glass with a whisper of vermouth and a shot of absinthe, garnish with a small spoon of caviar. I have it on the highest authority that it tastes better going down than coming up.
Tannerite! Put some in a pumpkin and you’ve got a wholesome good time at the range.
She certainly seems to like that AK…..
Maybe it was just cold….
I saw a pair of guns, but no AK…
She’s got a pair of 44s and her own gun, hur hur hur.
…Quite the gun-rack she has, there.

If we’re on silly cocktails:
Colonial Rot
1 shot absinthe
1 shot citron vodka
1/2 shot sugar syrup
1/2 shot lime juice or lime cordial if you can’t be bothered with squeezing a lime
lemonade
mix all the shots into a highball glass with ice, and top up with the lemonade.
Do not, under any circumstances, allow somebody who is already drunk to mix this, as they will try to measure the shots by eye and the consequences can be messy.
I remember someone trying to talk me into trying a “cement mixer” which was a shot of baileys with a spoonful of lemon juice. Luckily a basic understanding of science saved the day.
