What Exactly Is Jägermeister? 

As with the rest of America.....

I'm curious, what happened to make you hate it? For me it was a wild party that I ended up dancing on tables in short shorts, and waking up the next day dead AF with the worst hangover of my life,

Was no one keeping an eye on you when you were 8?

NYQUIL 🤢

Lmfao

I'm pretty sure you'd get a "correct" jägerbomb if you ordered one in a club in Berlin (sufficient concentration of Americans). But yes, it's not a party drink in Germany.

@ its starting to grow as a party drink in Germany too :)

@ I went to many parties in Germany where they drank Jägermeister shots or mixed with Fanta and some other stuff sometimes.

Nice to know

@ What? I´ve never killed more brain cells in my life than with Jäger-Red Bull. It´s definitly a party drink but perhaps there are regional differences.

The Germans are more likely to drink 'checky cola'

Why would you live in Germany if your a brit?

@@ChickenArad1 a better question is why on earth would you live in Britain if you had the option of living in Germany? I live in Berlin and it’s amazing. You can live here in such freedom and everything is super inexpensive - especially in comparison to London which is where I’m from.

@@vice.nor.virtue Good Answer. Most Germans think EVERYTHING out there is better as Germany.

@@ChickenArad1 To escape this Brexit-saddled Hellhole?

@@RetroJack lol and everyone else will claim the negatives come from the US too but this drink has zero medicinal benefit. That started elsewhere. We also used to claim heroin was non addictive and medicinal and over the counter. And that didn't start in the US lol

So now Jager is seen as a party drink in Germany as well?

Jagr Bombs here

Flying Hirsch and Jäger Cola (You can guess that one) are my favorite ways to drink Jägermeister.

​@@nwerd7584i think it deworms on some level....

The idea of Jagermeister as medicine kinda makes sense with all those herbals in it. Tons of good healing herbs mixed in a yummy liqueur sounds great.

I kinda see it as a kind of tincture that is coincidentally good to be mixed into a cocktail haha.

It taste like nyquil so yeah

Jägermeister ist für den Magen um besser zu verdauen mit 56 Kräutern. Aber wenn man genug davon trinkt hilft es bestimmt auch bei einer Erkältung 😂😂😂

It certainly doesn't taste any better lol.

still have a bottle in the freezer, and I stopped drinking years back. it has other uses.

Well, they do make coolers specifically for storing Yager. Sounds like a merchandising opportunity.

@@mmercier0921 This is good for setting up your alkaline/Insulin/acid balance with good bacteria from buttermilk, sour kraut, yogurt, etc to tame your carb cravings. Fried pork rinds with Tobasco and beer are a healthy snack with this included en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammel_Dansk

@@mmercier0921like what?

Jäegermeister doesn’t mean Buckmaster. It means master Hunter.

I work at a popular night time bar, im in college still but I work as much as I can. At the bar we keep this freezing cold and its pretty good. Not delicious but bearable. When my friends pull this out the closet at room temp I refuse to drink it now😂

Why would you want to mellow the black licorice?

​@@chankarchandraI don't know but lowering the temperature reduces flavour and aroma release (or take-in by the human body, not sure). I prefer the thicker consistency as it becomes a bit syrupy, works great to lubricate the throat. Jägermeister sells dispensers which are essentially freezing the drink. Jägermeister also suggests serving it at -18 degrees Celsius as is accentuates the complex flavour. I think what they are essentially saying is that freezing the drink gives it a more rounded flavour. Mellowing out the black licorice brings up a lot of other flavours. In the Netherlands we have multiple licorice-liquers and usually I don't like them, Jägermeister stands out because it is so much more. I think it is literally one of my favourite spirits.

yep as long as its cold I can down a red beer cup full without gagging once and enjoying it more than a little

I drink it warm

who’s that

He hook you up or give you the in in getting to know, hook up with, or get married/date any of the Jägerettes? LmMFaO! ;) :P :o)

Cool, thanks for sharing.

Your mom did a good job 👏

Dam talk about being privileged and fortunate frrr. Genuinely jealous ngl

interesting, my mother was born in Wolfenbuettel too, and her father lived in Africa!

How old are u lol

I know it has herbs and tastes like medicine, but I didn't think anybody actually used it as medicine. It's only been around since the 1930's, so it's not like it has some long medicinal history or whatever.

@@stephenbrand5661 i mean, tons of people used to use alcohol as "medicine" against pain etc. maybe the medicinal taste (a little like the german "hustenbonbon") made it seem like that

@@dejnorfthegreat1227 72 years....Why?🌞

Hmmm....wonder if it would mix well with Hot Chocolate. A hot Gingerbread drink, served with nutmeg and whipped cream.....😊 LOL it's gonna be a great Christmas...

interesting im gonna have to try that

@@guguigugu take my word for it, it will change your entire outlook on Jäger 🥴🥴

@@Cordovan im european so i already like jaeger

🤢

Same, although I also love the taste of anise and licorice. I'll drink things like Moxie Soda because I actually like it. Along those lines, Moxie was so reviled by my girlfriend that she made me drink it on the porch. Merely mentioning Jäger would make her turn turn as green as the bottle. Anyway my point is that we're like a superminority of beverage enjoyers. Now I'm wondering what a Moxie and Jäger drink would taste like. 🤔

​@jaymzx0 have you ever had Pastis? Pernod you may like.

I despise the flavor of anise, but I love Jäegermeister!

There’s a few of us

@@butterfacemcgillicutty I live in a country where I can't find jagermeister but is it anything like pastis? pastis is kind of bearable in a few shots but it would be vile to drink a whole bottle

Right up there with home-made poke-and-stick tattoos, missing teeth, and getting your sister "preggert".

​@@alexcarter8807Hey buddy, you've never seen my sister. She's purdy.

"It's not just a drink, it's cultural heritage." It is not even a hundred years old and all it has going for it is great marketing. Hardly anything culture defining. It is just a far-far worse version of Unicum.

A lot like absinthe

@@harrysatchela jager with pineapple

RIP PAUL HARVEY!

That is interesting!

I work at a warehouse that supplies liquor in my state and I was there for over a year before the first case of Jager fell off a pallet and broke. The herbal smell was very unpleasant as it was getting mopped up.

@sea-envy3137 Oh I would imagine so. Wow a whole year, not bad. Jager in bodily expulsion form is very unpleasant as well.

Perhaps, German craftsmanship?

@@armlovesmetal1036 garantiert,dafür steh ich mit meinem namen.

Ordered some in Germany and the waiter gave us that look. Its usually taken as a digestive and I wish the US would have more of that.

@@tomifost the reason it doesnt is because it doesn't work in that way, and they refuse to have it tested on that level and have the full ingredients and ratios be public. Its no different than people drink Miracle Mineral Solution.. Using oils etc.. Its pseudoscience. In fact cooking those botanicals remove any sort of benefit they may have had and kept the taste. For awhile Kratom became a trendy thing but it can be proven medicinal, and more people use it to get high than for wellness.. Just like the cope of disguising catching a buzz as anything other than what it is. If you have it everyday you still become an alcoholic and eventually your body will freak out without it.. to which proves to those rubes that its medicinal, rather than an addiction. I hate this historical cope related to medicine.. We didn't know shit prior to 200 ish years ago. Heroin was sold pre loaded in syringes over the counter for ailments, as well as opium and straight up poppy seeds. They serve no medical benefit besides masking pain. Like liquor.

In Brazil it's also wild to think of it as a party drink, since it's about 4 or 5 times more expensive than a decent vodka. In France the price ratio is more comparable and I've seen it in parties, but not much

Interestingly enough, the product for colicky babies called "gripe water" is just 90% grain alcohol.

The main ingredient is Anise, there are several alcoholic drinks that have anise and people use it to help digestion.

That is a good idea! Easy to conceal, hard to put down!

Why not carry a hip flask of it at all times!?

I bet that’s good.

@@Nurseakeem it is.

Wow is this still a thing they release currently? That sounds great.

@@putoutmyfirewithgasoline1877 yes it is. At least in the USA & the Caribbean. I put a link for you but RU-vid removed the comment for violating rules lmfao

In Europe it would be considered weird to have LESS alcohol for Christmas... 🤔

I remember that one; haven't seen it the last years, though. Definitely tastes like something from a Christmas Market, and I really liked it. However, I am one of those savages who stretches his booze with water to prevent getting drunk; I am drinking for the taste, not for the intoxication. I really think they should sell it not only again, but overseas as well. :) P.S.: Wasn't it "Winterkr_Ä_uter", or does my memory betray me? ;)

@@thespectator1243 I do absolutely agree about stretching booze. About the spelling of Winterkräuter: in German, words containing a letter with the dieresis can either be spelled with it or without but adding an "e" after the letter (therefore Winterkräuter and Winterkraeuter are both correct, but I realized just now that I spelled it without an a, my bad)

@@lorenzo1361 What do you mean, "my bad"? o_0 Wasn't bad at all - I was just confused. ;) (Yes, I know what the phrase "my bad" means; I just don't think making a spelling error makes one bad. ^^ ) Cheers! :D

@@thespectator1243 it's just that I studied German for 8 years and now i made quite a stupid mistake 😂

@@lorenzo1361 Don't sweat it. I try to speak English for the last 30+ years, and without autocorrect my texts would be unreadable. ;) Have they taught you the great German saying (and it is an actual saying here, I heard it before being taught English in school): "Deutsche Sprache - schwere Sprache." ? Failures are part of learning, nay of living! I'd say they even accelerate learning. ;) Even Germans misspell words every now an then. You've picked a hard language to learn. The most English I learned by watching episodes of series (like Futurama) first in German, and then directly afterwards in English. I think it really helped. However, since American English and British English are sometimes quite different, one can argue how good my English is. ^^ Good luck! :D

Guess it takes a bit of getting used to? :D

Oh and what brand of cinnamon schnaps pls`?

@@rumbatumblajambomambo6241 No clue. The source I got this recipe from didn’t specify the brand.

I have a recipe too. 4 oz. Ice cold jagermeister.......

​@@rumbatumblajambomambo6241gold schlagger

Got a cold? Drink Jägermeister! Got the bends? Drink Jägermeister! Got Jager sickness? Drink Jägermeister! Got drunk? Drink Jägermeister!

Same! Blackout drunk and sick as a dog!

I think it's the overly sweet makeup that does that. Almost how Fireball is. Just a very rich sweet drink. I love it, but will not drink it all night....noo no

Same lol I'll still drink it tho

I’m the same way with southern comfort and wild turkey. The smell of either of those makes me wanna barf decades after getting wasted on them.

Jager is probably my favorite liquor

I’m the opposite, I’d rather eat week old sushi off of Amber Heard’s bed sheets than take another shot of Jager! 🤮

Ä

The fun fact is, even so, it's just one of those products that looks old-timey while being a fairly recent industrial product with an all made-up history.

In the US? Because you can buy alcohol in any convenience store in most countries around the world

@@marvinvogtdeeven in the U.S. it varies by state

If this is true, that's hilarious.

@@mate53 It probably isn't. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet -- Abraham Lincoln.

U obviously never tried a true helles vom faß . A white beer u drink from tap. It’s mostly common in Bavaria Germany. I don’t know where u are from, but if you still don’t like beer and you have the chance to drink let’s say an Augustiner from tap, it will be a live changing experience trust me, cheers from Germany

@@malte7229 I do like beer now, only took a couple years in my mid 20s. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely try it out!!

You sound like a pussy 😂

Yesssss

Can you do anything with it other than mixing with coca cola? It's like a steak that only tastes good if you add ketchup.

@@4.0.4 really? You don’t know anything about mixing drinks…or even what Fernet is…

In Europe we drink fernet shots. It’s an acquired taste, but it’s the only liquor that never gives me a hangover. Guess that’s why it’s a bartender favorite. @@4.0.4

@@4.0.4 It's not supposed to be drinked like Coca-cola.

The last time I got REALLY drunk was the night I was picked up by an officer while walking on the side of the road in 20 degree temps in Minnesota...I was walking out of a small town headed east with no jacket on at 1am, and when he asked me where I was headed and if I needed a ride I said I was going to Montana...at least that's the story he told me when I woke up in the drunk tank the next morning and he gave me a ride home, because the last thing I remember was eating pizza in my apartment while listening to music...

One of those things you can drink if it's so cold you can't taste it.

Keep it this way for another 15 years & and stay healthy. 🥝 As simple as that.

They LGBTQ woke bro don’t do it

Just remember the 3rd time is a charm😂

I think that each country in Europe have a moltitude of these bitter digestives, full of herbs and spices. Here in Italy they called "amaro" and there are tens, some are more famous and industrial while some are more locally made and bond to a specific region or city. Montenegro, Vecchio Amaro del Capo, Cynar, Braulio, Fernet Branca, Averna, Ramazzotti and many many more. Personally, Unicum and Jager are the ones that I don't really like

Definitely a few medicinal notes!

I never did like the taste of it.

Yes. Vicks Formula 44. No longer made, because it WORKED!

💯💯💯

Most people wouldn't even have that much thought process "just buy whatever is cheapest."

He even knows that the German w sounds like the English v and not the English w (It originally sounded like the English, but that hasn't been the case since the 1400s or so).

Growing up close to the German border; nobody here drinks it. We drink plenty of local herbal bitters with actual history, but barely ever Jagermeister.

@@MtJochem "Actual history" Ah yes, the classic case of "If the brewery isn't over 500 years old, it's not historical" Euro mindset.

@@MtJochem I'm on Kalmarsund and this is our choice en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammel_Dansk

Diet coke with kalua gotta taste like dumpster juice smells.

@@grenadier6483 I grew up in Germany (Army brat lol), my German mom always has a bottle of Jager in the house. Some people just hate anything mainstream/well known, they need something more obscure to make themselves feel special. That being said, I wouldn't put too much stock in to what the Euros think, after all... they think six hours in the car is a long drive.

I hear u

Yes it's not as syrupy. And it mellows.

Thank you so much 4 that heartwarming story as it brings tears to my eyes.😊

Can confirm I probably kept its New Zealand sales propped up through the early 00s!

Back in the 80s a guy with some relatives in Germany used to bring Jager over and then sell it by shots as a upset tommy medicine :)

Mine in my teens was Jager and Dr Pepper. I don't drink anymore 😅

We in Iowa, call those Root Downs

Germans don't drink it for the taste, they drink it to settle an upset stomach. Were I come from (Northern Germany) the Bierstiefel is a communal drinking game: You drink from it and pass it to your right. If while you drink air gurgles into the tip of the boot or if the person you passed it to finishes it you have to pay for the refill.

You guys have glass cowboy boots, don't you? When I was in Seoul, South Korea in the Itaewon district, I loved those great German bars serving military and English teachers. One guy sitting next to me got a boot of German beer, tipped it up and keep drinking. Another guy next to me, said, 'Is there a time limit on that thing?' It was so funny and hilarious. Some 10 years ago and I think that's so cute and funny. We don't have fun bars like that in the USA. I don't enjoy living in my country.

@@TUBESPECIFIC1 I think the glasses look more like a WW2 German military boot, but there could be other variants too. No matter what, they are huge (2 liters)! We have a wide range of different bars here, the funny ones tends to be the "old dirty local bars". Go there often and get to know the regulars, then it will be fun. There is also this old tradition that people really go to bars (or coffee houses). Back in the days, most apartments had poor heating, so people went there to get warm - and of course, gossip away. There is also a drinking game around these big glasses, usually played by younger folks. The glass get passed along the table, and the first one that drinks so the toe gets filled with air has to pay the next round.

​@@jokervienna6433 Heck yea! I remember the old days of going to nice bars and bistros and dance my ass off in discotechs, finding I love trance and still listen to trance every day, when I was in Germany for 3 years during the 1990's which was super fun, illuminating, and awesome. I used to go out to small military bar in Kirchgoens not far from Butzbach and Giessen on weeknights to have a few hefeweizens and I actually met a cool dude from Freidberg Ober-Rosbach, Ralph, that I consider the best friend I ever had, but missed Ralph all the last 20 years for he disappeared. Ralph used to take me lots of places in his tiny little car which was such an awesome experience of Deutschland and mainland Europe. I went to garden parties where they rent small lots that have a shed and grill. He took me out to so many cool bars, castles, restaurants, and many neat places. We had so much fun, it was the time of my life. I went back to America in 1999, but he refused to use email telling me US government is watching and not to be trusted and I go, no conspiracy like for America is wonderful, and got mad that I wouldn't move over to Germany for I wanted to do that, but it wasn't economically and culturally feasible for one need to sprechen sie Deutsch fluently to get the work visa, job, and be richy executive to obtain blue card residency so I visited Germany and Europe 3 more times in the 2000's with Easter 2011 my last time which was so wonderful for it was warm, sunny, and gorgeous with flowers blooming and everything so green and lush. Yea, there are a few variants of your 2 liter boot. LOL I wanna go again, but broke and then so sketched out about the geopolitical, economy, crazy nonsense, danger of assault and death, and war. Germany and all of Europe, except Bosnia, was very safe, nice, and fun though I know it's changing as is the USA. I don't get to do anything in America today except stay home and watch RU-vid. No not because of restrictions, but because it's dangerous, hostile, and doesn't have a culture that I relate with and feel safe and enjoy. America is going to fall and we're in big trouble yet most of us didn't cause the quagmire. I did my job in Bosnia and Germany as a US military cook feeding my combat troopers. I used to think NATO was a good thing to unite the world, but as you already know, it's not a good thing. Yes, Ralph was right about the conspiracy theory for Edward Snowden revealed it all in 2014 and you know about Joe Biden and the Democrats working on destroying America to make the new world order. I don't have a country. Iche muste eine weizenbier, bitte.

@@jessicab4870 Yep I've heard of it. Do you live in the states too? My favorite of all time is cognac, but too expensive to drink today.
