Must be an "old man" drink, and I'm not quite there yet. Actually, I
bought Philip's "Black 100" instead because it was on sale; it's about
the same thing as Jaegermeister but a lot higher proof.

The bottle is in the deep freezer. The shotglass is in the deep
freezer. Are you supposed to "shoot" the stuff, like vodka from the
freezer? I've been sipping it, ice cold. It's pretty bad at first, but
the licorice and cabbage taste kind of grows on you... [hic]

After the first three or so, it doesn't matter. It's friggin' cough
syrup, anyway.

IMO, it's akin to cough syrup, something you drink in the winter when you're
feeling chilly. It tastes like Vicks Formula 44, and I've never gotten a
buzz from it.
I've been to bars where they have a Jagermeister freezer thingy that
dispenses icy-cold shots of the stuff.

While on a training deployment with my disaster response team we all hit
this bar up one night. I was introduced to "Jagerbombs" there. A shot
of Jagermeister dropped (jigger and all!) down into a cup half full of
Red Bull and then chugged down. What a hoot... a bunch of grown,
professional adults tossing those things back as if we were back in
college again. Ah.. fond memories...

I was in a similar situation. The drink of favor was an "Irish Car Bomb"

We keep it in the fridge. I'm not a fan, but I think it's an acquired
taste.

Actually, this stuff became very popular with the college kids and
underage drinkers. Not sure why. Maybe it's because the stuff is
super-sweet, so it disappears into mixed drinks made with Coke, etc.

For all I know, this information may be out of date. Drink fads come
and go.

I was introduced to Jagermeister years ago, by a friend from Denmark.
He recommended it to me as a "digestif" - drunk neat to calm a queasy
stomach, or to help digest a big meal.

That is how I always saw it when I lived in Germany. It even came in
small bottles perfect for single servings after dinner.
I thought it quite disgusting at the time. I did enjoy Kummel from
Denmark served cold before dinner or Apfelkorn served in small cold
shots after dinner at times.

It is shots for wimps, the guys who need their liquor to be sweet and
flavoured because they want to knock back shots but can't handle liquor.

I'm getting to be an old man and I remember the taste of an overnight
laxative my grandma gave me when I was five. It was called "Castoria" --
dark, alcohol-rich and the flavor was just like Jager. Someone here
described it as licorice and cabbage. Very close.

It's a drink for people who don't like real booze.

chilled peppermint schnapps is pretty nice. (only dekuyper's - the
rest are pretty gruesome.)

Jægertini

1/2 ounce Jagermeister, from the freezer
3 ounces gin, cold
???

I can't figure out what to use for a garnish. An olive or a pickled
onion doesn't seem quite right... [hic]

Maybe a sweet gherkin... Or a Rootbeer Barrel candy....

A disk of galangal. Or maybe a canned mandarin orange segment. Around the
holidays, a cube of fruitcake.

Those are harder to find around here than you might think.

The drink actually wasn't bad. The gin cuts the sweetness of the Jager,
and the Jager takes some of the edge off the gin. It was better than
that time I mixed sweet vermouth in my gin instead of dry (now that was
nasty.)
