Herbal, bittersweet Jägermeister meets the sweet, fizzy tang of an energy drink in one quick splash. It is a party ritual more than a cocktail: fast, loud and very sweet.

Jägerbomb
Sweet and fizzy, with anise, licorice and bitter herbs from the Jägermeister under the fruity tang of the energy drink.
The Jägerbomb is a bomb shot, a style in which a shot glass is dropped into a larger glass of mixer and drunk at once, like the older Boilermaker with beer. It rose to popularity in bars in the late 1990s and 2000s, after energy drinks such as Red Bull became widely available, and it is especially associated with student and club culture in the United States, the UK and Australia.
Jägermeister itself is a herbal liqueur from Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony, Germany, made with dozens of botanicals. The drink has no known creator; it spread from bar to bar and is still one of the most ordered shots worldwide.
A shot of Jägermeister dropped into or mixed with energy drink, usually Red Bull.
It can chip or splash; many bars simply pour the shot in, which works just as well.
Caffeine can hide how drunk you feel, which makes it easy to drink more than intended, so keep it to one.
The perfect sound
Pure energy for a long night out.
