Frequently Asked Questions

What is Jägermeister made of?

A secret blend of 56 herbs, spices, and botanicals — the exact recipe is not publicly disclosed. Confirmed ingredients include cinnamon bark, cloves, ginger root, anise, star anise, liquorice root, juniper berries, and citrus peel, among others. The botanicals are macerated in alcohol, filtered, blended with water and sugar, and rested in oak barrels before bottling at 35% ABV.

Why is Jägermeister served ice-cold?

The cold temperature suppresses some of the more medicinal and bitter herbal notes, making the liqueur smoother and more palatable for shots. At room temperature, the full complexity of 56 botanicals is more apparent — which is why Jägermeister is also enjoyable slowly at room temperature for those who appreciate herbal liqueur character, similar to an Italian amaro.
