Mixed Drinks!

I've had a few jagerbomb nights now and while they're a ton of fun, I always feel guilty the next day because i just know how incredibly unhealthy they are.
Nonetheless jagermeister is one of my favourite hard liquors and I'm lookin for more drinks involving it, but don't involve heart-stopping energy drinks, any ideas?

Internet searches inform me of Dr. Jager, essentially a drop shot of jag into Dr. Pepper. Sounds like it could be fun.
 
Made some watermelon daiquiris to complement my grilled watermelon sunday. I froze the left over mix and then scrapped it out with a wooden spoon to make a cool little desert you can eat with a spoon.

not a shot... it should be mixed and imbibed as you would a rum and coke


also my friends are ridiculous...
A while back, Sean asked me for my Mai Tai recipe. As some of you know, this is a subject about which I have fairly strong opinions, so i thought you might be interested in seeing the reply I gave him. I share it in hopes that some of you might take a walk down the golden path of wisdom and become Tiki Alchemists yourselves.

Well. I got properly drunk last night off Gin & Tonics. Didn't help the friend mixing them was going 1:1 with the gin and tonic. I enjoyed them a bit too much :lol:
 
Vodka + Red Bull, especially on a thursday night in the club ?2.50 for a pint of it :D
 
Does anyone know how to make a proper Brandy Alexander?

I had one recently, that very well may have been made wrong, that contained both creme de cacao and creme de mint. However, all the recipes I have found only call for creme de cacao.

So, did I get a Brandy Alexander made wrong, or did I get a completely different drink?
 
Korn was the most disgusting "beverage" I've ever put in my mouth. Brought a bottle back from Kiel. Eugh.

Third Reich


1 shot Jagrmeister
1 shot Goldschlager
1 shot Rumple Minze

Freeze the bottles and pour in a rocks glass(because it will only fit in that) and prepare for a great night. 3 of them will light you up like a rocket and they are super easy to drink.
 
I usually drink beer, but a decent G&T is always welcome. Then we have the drink that my friend calls "Kiss me, i'm shitfaced" after the Dropkick Murphys song. 50/50 J?germeister and Red Bull. It's usually consumed in plastic mugs when we are at the Gatebil festival in Norway and it hits like a barrel of bricks.
 
we call it jekkupatteri (prank battery) it contains 50/50 j?ger and battery.
 
if i dare to get drunk on that, the next day my teeth are killing me...

way to sweet! (same with mojito)
 
Beer and vodka is the obvious one if you for some reason need to get really hammered really quick. Something else I tried a few times is:

100ml Jack Daniels
50ml aftershock
50ml absinthe*

in a tall glass, fill the rest of it with Sprite/7up.

*possibly with a different name in your region and is of course fully safe to drink and related to the Eurotrip version only by name.
