About this drink
The Kung Fu grew up among bartenders who loved pairing Jägermeister's bitter herbal character with the sweet, tropical scent of banana liqueur. It is a fixture in many bars, especially in Denmark, where it is often served as a quick, festive shot-style cocktail. The name is thought to refer to the drink's kick: fast, powerful and a bit of a surprise for the palate.
