What’s In a Jäger Bomb?

Jägermeister FAQs

What is a Jäger bomb?

Unlike a classic shot, Jäger Bombs combine shot and chaser. This drink is often made by dropping the shot glass of Jägermeister directly into a pint glass filled halfway with Red Bull (or another energy drink) and then downed like a shot would be.

What is Jägermeister?

This digestif is a German-made alcohol that combines 56 different herbs and spices. It was first developed in 1934 and its recipe has remained the same ever since, even down to the green glass bottle it comes in!

Jägermeister’s flavor could be described as complex and herbal with a finish that conjures licorice or anise. Its consistency is somewhat thick and almost syrupy, and some people have even used it medicinally; some swear it has healing properties!

How strong is a Jäger Bomb shot?

Although this shot comes on strong and has a somewhat infamous reputation, it’s actually only about 7% ABV (or 14 proof). This is just a little more alcohol than the average beer, and a much lower ABV than shots of straight liquor and even other mixed shots.

How many Jäger Bomb calories?

A typical Jäger Bomb shot will have around 125 calories, give or take. They also have 25g of sugar and 41mg of caffeine, both from the Red Bull.

 

How to Make a Jäger Bomb Shot
