Ingredients

Jägermeister

2 oz of this herbal liqueur adds a complex, spiced flavor profile. If you're feeling daring, swap it for a spiced rum to add a pirate twist to your sip!

Orange Juice

4 oz is the perfect amount to sweeten the deal and bring some citrusy sunshine to the party. Too much? You'll drown out the Jäger. Too little? The Jäger will overpower you. Balance is key, just like in a good comedy act.

Ice

Cubes keep it cool and refreshing. Skip the ice, and you might be mistaken for drinking a medieval potion—warm and weird.
