what type of liquor is jager

Jägermeister is a type of liqueur called Kräuterlikör, which is a herbal liqueur. It is a German digestif liqueur made with 56 different herbs and botanicals, invented in 1934 by Curt Mast, the son of a vinegar manufacturer who was passionate about hunting. The ingredients include citrus peel, licorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries, and ginseng. These ingredients are ground, then steeped in water and alcohol for two to three days. This mixture is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about a year. Then the liqueur is filtered again, and mixed with sugar, caramel, and alcohol. Jägermeister has a sweeter taste than other Kräuterlikör beverages. It has an alcohol content of 35% ABV, which is relatively high for a liqueur. Jägermeister is best served cold. It is often consumed as a shot, but it can also be mixed into cocktails like the Negroni or Old Fashioned.
