1 cocktail (75ml)Tips & Notes
For the authentic "bomb" method, drop a shot glass filled with Jägermeister into a larger glass of Red Bull and drink in one gulp
Always use fresh, well-carbonated energy drink and ensure both ingredients are as cold as possible for optimal taste
Adjust proportions to taste - increase Jägermeister to 40ml for a stronger herbal profile or decrease for a milder drink
For parties, prepare ingredients in advance and keep them chilled; the drink is best consumed immediately after preparation
