Be not of this World for a Moment
Enjoy An Energy Drink mixed with Jägermeister Jägermeister is a type of liqueur called Kräuterlikör (herbal liqueur). It is similar to other European liqueurs, such as Gammel Dansk from Denmark, Unicum from Hungary, Becherovka from the Czech Republic, Demänovka from Slovakia and Pelinkovac from Croatia. In contrast to those beverages, Jägermeister has a sweeter taste. Jägermeister’s ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots and spices including citrus peel, licorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries and ginseng. These 2
ingredients are ground, then steeped in water and alcohol for 2–3 days. Afterwards, this mixture is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about a year. When a year has passed, the liqueur is filtered again, then mixed with sugar, caramel, alcohol and water. It is filtered one last time and then bottled. The producer recommends that Jägermeister be kept on ice and served cold and suggests that it be kept in a freezer at -18°C (0°F) or on tap between −15 °C (5 °F) and −11 °C (12 °F) Jägermeister does not contain any deer or elk blood. A shot glass of Jägermeister dropped into a glass of Cannabis Energy Drink, Red Bull energy drink, or other, makes a cocktail called a Jägerbomb. The Jägerbomb /The Jägerbomb is a bomb shot cocktail that was originally mixed by dropping a shot of Jägermeister into a glass of beer but in recent years has become more popular with Cannabis Energy or Red Bull or other energy drinks. In German-speaking countries, it is called a "Turbojäger" or a "Flying Hirsch" (Flying Stag) — where "Flying" is derived from the slogan "Red Bull gives you wings" and "Stag" originates in the Jägermeister logo. A long drink mixed with Jägermeister and Red Bull is called "JägerBull" as it is adopted from Jägermeister and RedBull. The effects of a Jägerbomb are similar to those of other drinks that contain both caffeine and alcohol. These effects are held to be different from those of strictly alcoholic drinks. This is attributed to the fact that caffeine has a stimulating effect on the central nervous system, whereas alcohol has a depressing effect. Consequently, some of the effects of alcohol intoxication are masked. However, caffeine does not affect the reduced motor coordination that is typically seen in intoxicated persons. A Brazilian study conducted in 2006 found that combining an energy drink and alcohol "appears to show us that the use of energy drinks might predispose people to abuse alcohol when its depressant effects — or at least the perception of such effects — are masked by them." Professor Roseli Boergnen de Lacerda, who conducted the study, also warned of another possible effect: "a higher risk of car accidents because [people who drank energy drinks with alcohol] felt less intoxicated than they were."
How to make a Jager Bomb! Although a cocktail is actually a type of mixed drink, not every mixed drink is considered to be a cocktail. Cocktails often contain at least one type of flavoring or liquor, as well as sauces, fruit juices, milk, honey, spices, cream, etc.

The cocktail has been around for quite some time. The word was first printed in 1803, in “The Farmer’s Cabinet.” A few years later, in 1806, it was again recognized in print when its definition was described in Balance and Columbian Repository. Sazerac, a cognac-based drink known to be one of the earliest cocktails, dates back to the 1850s. Cocktails became popular in the prohibition era when mixing drinks was used as an acceptable way to hide the strong taste of bootleg spirits. Speakeasy bartenders would often mix the spirits with both non-alcoholic and alcoholic ingredients to create a tasty drink. Even after prohibition ended, cocktails still remained a bar staple. The skills and recipes created in illegal bars soon spread, and the 1930’s saw the drink becoming a trendy choice among bar patrons. Prior to the 1970s, most cocktails were created using rum, gin, and whiskey. Vodka was also used, but not as often. After that time, vodka became a more popular ingredient and even replaced the other liquors in well-known drinks. Today, cocktails are more popular than ever and come in a wide array of flavors, ranging from fruity to potent. Both men and women enjoy the variety of drinks that are available on bar menus worldwide.

Warning Despite the popularity of cocktails that mix energy drinks and alcohol, the combination can be dangerous if you don't prepare them responsibly. The stimulants in energy drinks and the depressants in alcohol make them seem like the perfect combination, but the reality is that combining these two beverages to excess may contribute to alcoholism or even cause unsafe heart palpitations. That does not necessarily mean that you can't mix the two -- doing it responsibly and in the right amounts is key.
Tips (1) When mixing energy drink cocktails, always prepare them stirred, not shaken. Shaking the beverage agitates the carbonation and makes it fizz. (2) Since the caffeine in energy drinks suppresses the sensation of drunkenness, you must carefully monitor your alcohol consumption. Do not drink more than you usually would simply because the caffeine gives you the energy to do so. (3) Do not attempt mixing alcohol with energy drinks until you are familiar with how your body reacts to energy drinks alone -- if energy drinks make your heart race or makes you otherwise physically ill, do not mix them with alcohol.
Recipes in different languages The Jager Bomb is originally a mixture of Red Bull and Jagermeister, both being popular products, although it's increasingly common for other energy drinks to be substituted for the RB. The caffeine-alcohol combination creates a unique "high" or at the very least, a counteract to the depressant of alcohol making you more aware, more energetic, and more active. 1/2 can Red Bull® energy drink 1 - 2 oz Jagermeister® herbal liqueur En Français • Réalisez la recette "Jäger Bomb" directement dans le verre. • Verser l'energy drink frais dans un grand verre.

In Nederlands 'Alleen als ie ijs- en ijskoud is'. De slogan van Jägermeister staat in het collectieve geheugen van de (reclamevretende) consument gegrift. Jägermeister is een populaire kruidenbitter die voor het eerst in 1878 werd geproduceerd in de Duitse stad Wolfenbüttel. De drank met zijn unieke, zachte smaak wordt ijskoud gedronken: meestal puur, maar ook in combinatie met bier of gemixt met een energy drink. Het authentieke recept van Jägermeister is een geheim van het huis. Er is alleen van bekend dat voor de bereiding 56 kruiden nodig zijn, onder meer gember uit China, steranijs uit Oost-Azïe en een kruidenpalet uit de Himalaya. Dit kruidenextract krijgt, na een lagertijd van een jaar op eikenhouten vaten, een unieke geur en afgeronde smaak. Een Vliegend Hert /Jägerbom is een cocktail die bestaat uit een combinatie van een energiedrank zoals Cannabis Energy Drink of Red Bull en Jägermeister. In Engelstalige landen staat deze cocktail bekend als een Flying Deer of Jägerbomb in Duitstalige landen als Turbojäger of Fliegend Hirsch en in Spaanstalige landen als Ciervo Volador. In Mexico staat de cocktail bekend als Perla Negra. In Finland staat de drank informeel bekend als 'accuzuur'. De combinatie is zeer populair in Scandinavische landen, maar begint ook in Nederland bekender te worden, met name onder studenten. Bereiding: Vliegend Hert is kant en klaar verkrijgbaar in kleine hoeveelheden 20 ml zowel glas als in een evenementen verpakking. De Jägermeister wordt meestal in een shotglas (50 cc) geschonken en de energiedrank in een limonadeglas (150 cc). Voor het opdrinken laat men het shotglas vervolgens vallen in het limonadeglas. Dit verklaart de naam Jägerbom. Wanneer men een aantal van deze drankjes tegelijk serveert, is het gebruikelijk om de glazen op een rij te zetten, waarna een domino-effect optreedt, hetgeen als spectaculair ervaren wordt door sommigen. Dit staat in Engelstalige landen bekend als een 'Jägertrain'. Een andere bereiding: Ingredienten: 20 ml. Jägermeister 1 beetje Canabis Energy Drank of Red Bull 7
Draai het flesje Jägermeister open en zet deze in een glas. schenk er een energie drank bij tot de hals van het flesje. drink het glas nu langzaam leeg zodat de Jägermeister met de Red Bull mee komt . Met bier: Ingredienten: 30 ml. Jägermeister, en een glas bier. Schenk de Jägermeister in een glas en plaats dit glas in het bier glas. Schenk vervolgens het witbier voorzichtig in zodat het zich niet vermengt met de Jägermeister. Als je het bier hebt ingeschonken dan is de cocktail klaar om te drinken De gevaren die eraan verbonden zijn. Het combineren van alcohol en cafeïne in dergelijke cocktails is niet zonder risico. Het tegelijkertijd nutigen van alcohol en cafeïne zou leiden tot twee ongewenste effecten. In de eerste plaats maskeert cafeïne in enige mate sommige oppervlakkige effecten van alcohol, waardoor men zich langer fit blijft voelen. De schadelijke gezondheidseffecten en onderdrukking van het centraal zenuwstelsel worden echter niet verholpen. In de tweede plaats zou het mixen van energiedrankjes en kruidenbitters de onaangename smaak van alcoholhoudende drank compenseren, hetgeen zou leiden tot meer alcoholgebruik. Experts waarschuwen daarom dat overschatting van de eigen motoriek en het toegenomen alcoholgebruik zou kunnen leiden tot een toename van gevaarlijke situaties in het verkeer. Dergelijke waarschuwingen gelden uiteraard ook voor andere combinaties van energiedranken en alcoholische dranken zoals de zeer populaire Wodka-Red Bull.
