Jägermeister

Germany

A bitter, herbal digestif liqueur made from a blend of 56 herbs, roots, fruits, and spices, aged in oak barrels; became a major global phenomenon from the 1990s onward, especially associated with the chilled "Jäger bomb" shot in bar culture — a very different context from its traditional digestif role.
