Today we will talk about the Jagermaster liquor: how to drink, what to serve and what to eat. This drink (also called Jägermeister) appeared on the market in 1934, but the idea of creating this bitter originated earlier, in 1978. It was then that Wilhelm Mast, a winemaker from Wolfenbüttel, a town in Lower Saxony, decided to try his hand at making herbal tinctures. His brainchild was somewhat reminiscent of Benedictine. At the whim of fate, the tincture was to the taste of the German hunters. At the turn of the century, they started and ended with her “to drive the beast”.
In the 30s of the twentieth century, Kurt Mast inherited the family business, who, through trial and error, invented a unique recipe for herbal liquor, which is still kept secret. It is only known that the composition of the drink includes 56 herbs and other natural ingredients. Given the popularity of the previous drink among hunters, Kurt Mast called the new bitter "Senior Chasseur." Since this is a bitter herbal tincture, the question “when and how to drink Jagermaster” does not arise. This is a real aperitif that improves the flow of gastric juice and slightly stimulates appetite.
We have created the erroneous opinion that any herbal tincture is medicinal. However, in addition to the beneficial effect on the digestion process, doctors have not revealed any other healing properties in the "Senior Huntsman". Moreover, the high strength (35%) of this drink requires a cautious approach to it. Do not abuse it, despite the bottle with the brand-name ambulance cross. But before a hearty meal, it will be good to taste the Jägermaster liquor. How to drink and how to bite it? Of course, drink in one gulp. You can eat a slice of lemon with salt or, conversely, a circle of orange and cinnamon. Other cold starters are also allowed. And in the homeland of the drink, in Lower Saxony, the liquor is eaten with fried sausages.

Ladies, on the other hand, liked liquor as part of cocktails. Tincture is a component of many low alcohol longers. For example, the Black Blood cocktail, for the preparation of which you just need to mix 50 ml of
Blue Curacao with 20 ml of Jägermeister and 25 ml of Sprite. Ideally, herbal liquor interacts with citrus juices, mineral water, and pomegranate syrup. How to drink Jagermaster in cocktails? With ice cubes, slowly sipping a drink from a tall glass.
