Notes
The Story Behind the Shot The Jäger Bomb is a modern classic with a bit of a murky history. The most popular theory is that it was invented in the late 1990s in Northern California, quickly becoming a staple in college bars and ski resorts. Its name, a combination of "Jäger" from Jägermeister and "bomb" from the bomb shot style, is a perfect description of its fun, high-impact nature.
Tips for a Perfect Shot
- The Ritual is Everything: The Jäger Bomb is all about the ritual. The explosive splash and fizzy reaction as the shot drops into the energy drink is part of the fun.
- Keep It Cold: The Jäger Bomb is best served ice-cold. Chilling your Jägermeister and energy drink in the fridge or freezer beforehand is a must for the best taste.
- Jäger Train: For large parties, you can create a "Jäger Train," where you line up multiple glasses with energy drink and balance the shots on the rims, creating a domino effect when the first shot is dropped.
- Is the Jäger Bomb very strong? The Jäger Bomb is a very potent drink. The combination of Jägermeister and a caffeinated energy drink can mask the effects of the alcohol, so it should be consumed responsibly.
- What does a Jäger Bomb taste like? It has a sweet, herbal flavor with a distinct licorice and spice note from the Jägermeister. The sweetness and fizz from the energy drink cut through the herbal flavor, making it surprisingly easy to drink.
