The Ups and Down of Jäger (Part 1)- with Jordan Paley & Kirk McPherson

This week, we are joined by Jordan Paley and Kirk McPherson for our long awaited dive into the history of Jägermeister, and all we can say is buckle up, because this one is a doozy! In this first part we focus in on the original creator of the brand, Curt Mast, and his complicated history.

Cocktail Discussed:

Huburtusmesse:

3/4 oz. H.W. Schlichte Steinhager Dry Gin

1/3 oz. Schladerer Schwartzwálder Kirschwasser

1/2 oz. Jägermeister

1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice

4 oz. Reissdorf Kölsch

Combine the first four ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled. Strain into a footed pilsner glass, and top with the kölsch. Garnish with a lemon twist, and serve.
