Zenmeister

A surprisingly drinkable two-ingredient sipper that pairs Jägermeister's dense herbal complexity with the creamy, vanilla-kissed sweetness of root beer - think of it as a grown-up root beer float without the ice cream.

Method
  1. 1

    Pour 30ml Jägermeister over the ice.

  3. 3

    Top with 120ml root beer, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation.

  4. 4

    Stir gently once or twice to combine without losing fizz.

  5. 5

    Serve immediately.

From the Bartender

The original recipe called for equal 30ml parts of each ingredient, which produces an overly spirit-forward drink with little room for the root beer's carbonation and sweetness to shine - a 1:4 ratio (30ml Jäger to 120ml root beer) is the sweet spot, mimicking the balance of a classic spirit-and-mixer highball.
