Jägermeister (YAY-gər-my-stər) is a German word that directly translates to "Hunt Master". The drink was originally enjoyed by hunters during celebrations.
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.
