Ingredients

Jägermeister

Jägermeister, the powerhouse of herbal notes, provides a complex base to our high-octane hootenanny. It's 1.5 oz of liquid courage, chuck-full of 56 herbs, fruits, roots, and spices. Too much and you're on a flavor overdrive, too little and the Monster overshadows it. It's the Goldilocks of pours. Swap it for another herbal liqueur like Fernet and you'll find yourself on a wilder herbaceous adventure, with a bolder bitter kick.

Monster Energy Drink

6 oz Monster Energy Drink zaps life into the cocktail, turning it from a simple herbal elixir into an electrifying potion. Not just a caffeine jolt; it brings a sweet and tangy brightness that plays like a rock concert with the Jäger's moody tones. Light on Monster and the cocktail hits snooze; heavy and it becomes a sugary surge capable of time travel. Think of swapping in Red Bull for a more standardized energy buzz, or even tonic for a lighter yet still sparkly twist.
