  • 2/1/23: Made with PF curaçao and 1 tsp 2:1 simple. I've tried it with 0, 1, and 2 tsp 2:1 simple, and I think 1 tsp is the best. This is very tasty.
  • Works with a range of amari (made w/ Lucano and Ferro Kina). It's much better w/ blended (6oz ice) and w/ 0.5-0.75oz 1:1 simple. — ★★★★★
  • Sweet and tasty. I don't think it hits the "cloying" register, but if you worry about that, scaling back or eliminating the syrup might be worth trying. — ★★★★★

Hard to believe this could need the simple. It doesn't actually sound bad. Just because Jägermeister is a frat-house staple, doesn't mean that it doesn't have a long history as bitters.

Wondered what I would do with new bottle of Hong-Kong Baigiu. Took a Jagarita recipe & sub'd out the Jagermeister for Baijiu.
2 oz Baijiu (Hong-Kong)
1 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Lime Juice
1/4 oz Simple (To taste)
Shake w/ice & Strain
Garnish with a picture of Xi Jinping

It's pretty good, but I was not wowed in the way Morgenthaler was as reported on Punchdrink. I tried again swapping the simple for Barenjager for a German inspired honey flavor and that kicked it up a notch. I may add it to the menu!
