Story:
Well this was indeed a surprise. I didn’t have any experience with Jägermeister before buying a bottle a few weeks ago after learning that it’s an amaro. I was also reminded that it’s made in Germany by the Mast family (no close relation that I’m aware of), so I had to try it out. Once again it was my guy Sother Teague to the rescue. You’ll recognize this as a version of the Waterproof Watch with Jägermeister instead of gin. It’s got a ton of vanilla, orange, and root beer vibes. You’ll also notice the pimento bitters in there. When I hear “pimento” I think of those red things they stuff into olives, but in fact this use of the word pimento is another term for allspice.
Recipe:
1.5 oz Jägermeister
0.75 oz Amaro Montenegro
0.75 oz Aperol
2 dashes Dale Degroff’s Pimento Bitters (4 shakes of the bottle)
garnish: orangetwist
-add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice; stir until chilled
-strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice
-express orange twist over the drink, then drop in or discard.
