Jäger Bomb

By Steve Kilcullen Jump to Recipe

Looking to have a wild weekend? It might be time to drop a few Jäger Bomb shots.

An entire platoon of reporters and paparazzi was amassed outside a lone and unmarked doorway in the middle of downtown. Hours had gone by, and boredom was beginning to seep into the group’s psyche, soaking their brains like so much milk in a bowl of Cookie Crisp. After the seemingly fruitless waiting game they’ve been enduring, there was truly nothing crisp about their thoughts.

And then… the door opened! Like lightning, the crowd erupted into a cacophony of questions, cameras and blinding bulb flashes. The poor soul that had exited was immediately horrified, completely taken off guard and screaming through a gauntlet of very pushy and abrasive strangers. Like a nightmare, they were pummeled with confusing questions from every direction: When did you first have the idea? What inspired you to create Jäger Bombs? Were you afraid success might change you, and that’s why you never took credit? Do you have any Jägermeister on you? The frightened figure, obviously having zero clue what any of this was about, took off at top speed and ran howling down the street.

The reporters and paparazzi looked at each other and shrugged, musing amongst themselves that the tip they received could’ve been a prank, and that they may never break the news about discovering the inventor of the party favorite known as the Jäger Bomb. Then a voice from the back piped up, echoing off the buildings.

“Hey! This is 36th Street, we’re supposed to be on 36th Avenue, two blocks over, let’s go!”

The crowd charged to the avenue, and possibly into history.

What Are The Best Ingredients To Use In A Jäger Bomb?

To make this college campus mainstay, you’ll need a can of Red Bull energy drink and, of course, Jägermeister, recognized on any bar’s shelf anywhere in the world by its iconic stag head logo. A German liqueur, Jäger is comprised of 56 herbs and spices, and has been around since 1934. Despite its reputation for being a super strong and potent drink, it’s only around 70 proof, which is lighter than many spirits.
