Jägermeister is a German digestif made with 56 herbs and spices. It has a complex, bittersweet taste with notes of licorice, anise, and a blend of other botanicals. The recipe has remained unchanged since its creation in 1934 by Curt Mast. It was originally developed as a medicinal tonic. One should try it for its unique flavor profile, its versatility as a shot or in cocktails, and its rich history as a globally recognized spirit.
