4 interesting things you probably didn't know about Jägermeister herbal liquer

In case you've never had a chance to inspect the Jägermeister bottle, its logo is a golden stag (male deer), on a field of green with a white cross shinning down. This logo is symbolic.

1. A little bit of Jägermeister history

The striking logo is a nod to Saint Hubertus, the patron saint of hunters, metalworkers, opticians, and mathematicians.

It is said that when St Hubert received his calling, it was a Good Friday and he was out on a hunting expedition when he saw a deer with a crucifix between its antlers. This encounter is what is depicted on the Jägermeister logo.

2. It is actually an herbal liqueur

A second interesting fact about the drink is that it is actually made of 56 selected herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits. It is entirely an herbal drink

3. A shot of Jägermeister is best enjoyed ice-cold

The recommended way to enjoy a shot of Jägermeister is when it's ice cold, straight from the freezer, and at the precise temperature of -18°C.

In addition, the drink works well in cocktails whether it's a fruity combo or an expert pairing with other liquors, and even as the famous Jäger bomb.
