Notes
Tips
Choose a premium vodka for this cocktail to ensure the taste meets your expectations. Pouring a low-quality vodka will bring the drink's quality down and this is designed to be a fine cocktail, not just another Jägermeister drink.
For the coffee liqueur, Kahlua may be the obvious choice because it's the most popular. There are others you might like to try, including Firelit and the coffee options from Leopold Bros., St. George Spirits, and New Deal. And, if you're in the mood for an experiment, this is a great recipe to try out a homemade coffee liqueur.
Though you can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste, it's often best to keep the first three equal. Definitely try not to go overboard on the Jägermeister in order to retain a good balance of flavors.
Recipe Variations
If you need a touch more sweetness, add another drop of grenadine.
The Jäger café cocktail is an excellent cocktail to serve on the rocks in an old-fashioned glass.
For a fun twist, try a flavored vodka. Vanilla would be an excellent choice, as would an espresso vodka. You may enjoy citrus or berry vodkas as well.
Instead of grenadine, you can use a pomegranate liqueur such as Pama. Alternatively, other red fruit liqueurs (e.g., strawberry, raspberry, or cherry) can be a good substitute.
There are no exact substitutions for Jägermeister, though you can experiment with similar herbal blends in this drink. Some good options include Fernet Branca, Root Liqueur, and Underberg.
