Jägerita

1 1⁄2 oz Jägermeister
3⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
2 t Rich simple syrup 2:1
Instructions

Shake; strain; up.

Notes

Jeffrey Morgenthaler promises it "tastes way better than it sounds."

Punchdrink.com also suggests a frozen version, with 3/4 oz. regular simple, blended with ice, and garnished with a lime wheel.

  • 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

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!

Dan commented on 3/17/2015:

Very sweet as written. I added another part of dry vermouth, but even then it was too sweet. I would like to try this again as perhaps 2 oz spirit and a total of 1 oz sweet.

I tweaked this by using a little less than 1/4 oz of green chartreuse in place of the yellow chartreuse and enjoyed the heck out of this drink. It's definitely for those who love bitter drinks with a whisper of smoke and herbs.

  • Bitter orange flavors dominate. Best after dinner.
Similar cocktails

This is the ideal cocktail for those who like a sweet but not too sweet drink, and those who like a chocolate-like taste. I suspect that's about 80% of adult Americans. I used Amer Picon and one of my favorite top-shelf Italian vermouths, Contratto Rosso. This is a drink that deserves a top-shelf vermouth, whatever that brand may be. And it's definitely an after-dinner drink, one to be lingered over and enjoyed. Simple to make, and easy to enjoy!

This is superb: top-shelf balance of sweet, sour, and bitter -- and plenty of oomph without being overbearing.  The passion-fruit, lime, and pineapple blend as harmoniously as the rum, maraschino, and Campari.  I used Smith & Cross for the rum and it was aces.

  • Used 3/4 oz of each ingredient to decrease the sweetness a bit. Delicious. — ★★★★★
  • Good, but maybe dominated a bit by the Gran Classico
  • Sweet but complex. Very interesting and unique; haven't had another cocktail that tastes quite like it
  • Great flavor - a bit too sweet. Perhaps a less sweet amaro than Gran Classico? Or a mixture of GC and, say, Ramazotti?
  • Tasty. A little on the sweet side perhaps? Might want to find a less sweet aromatized wine next time.

Delicious if you like gran classico. The aquavit winks through on the finish.
