History

Well-known and notorious.

In Germany, this drink is called a ‘Turbojäger’, a ‘Flying Hirsch’. 'Flying' references Red Bull’s marketing slogan "Red Bull gives you wings", and 'Hirsch' (German for ‘stag’) is the Jägermeister logo. In Mexico, it is called a Perla Negra’ (Black Pearl), and in Finland, an ‘Akkuhappo’ (meaning ‘battery acid’). A Jäger-train is a theatrical method of preparing a number of Jägerbombs at once. Set up a row of old-fashioned glasses with one extra glass at the end for the number of drinkers. Pour half-a-can of Red Bull into each of the old-fashioned glasses. Pour Jägermeister into shot glasses and balance them on the rims where each pair of old-fashioned glasses meet. Starting at one end, knock the first shot glass into the old-fashioned glass beneath it, and the rest should follow domino-style.
