Preparation

Jägermeister's recipe is a trade secret. It is a digestif spirit similar to other Central European stomach bitters, such as Gammel Dansk from Denmark, the Hungarian Unicum, Gorki List from Serbia, or Czech Becherovka. In contrast to many such drinks, Jägermeister has a sweet flavor. On the web site, Mast-Jägermeister, it is suggested that the drink be kept in the freezer, typically -18 °C (0 °F), and \"on tap\" machines that will cool it to between -11 °C to -15 °C (5 °F to 12 °F).

Within Germany, the term Bitter applies only to those bitters that actually are bitter. Since Jägermeister has a sweet flavor, it is instead considered a Kräuterlikör (literally \"herbal liqueur\"). Most of the many other brands of Kräuterlikör in Germany are not widely exported. Jägermeister is the market leader in Germany.

In German, Jägermeister means \"Hunter - Master\" (combining Jäger, hunter, and Meister, master in the sense of accomplished professional, leader and certified teacher under the medieval German guild system, as opposed to \"Lehrling\" = apprentice, and \"Geselle\" = journeyman). As a legal term, \"Jägermeister\" was introduced in 1934 to designate senior foresters and hunters in the forestry administration. The Jägermeister logo, the head of a stag with a glowing cross between the antlers, is a reference to the story of Saint Hubert. On the edge of the label of a Jägermeister bottle, the following poem by Otto von Riesenthal (1848) is printed:

Das ist des Jägers Ehrenschild,

daß er beschützt und hegt sein Wild,

weidmännisch jagt, wie sich's gehört,

den Schöpfer im Geschöpfe ehrt.

In English:

This is the hunter's badge of honour,

that he protect and nourish his game,

hunt sportingly, as is proper,

and honour the Creator in the creature.

Or, a more loose translation that preserves rhyme and meter:

This is the hunter's badge of glory:

That he protects and tends his quarry,

Hunts with honour, as is due,

And through the beast to God is true.

And, according to Jagermeister A.G.: The ring around the label on the bottle translates to--

\"It is the hunter's honor that he

protects and preserves his game,

hunts sportsmanlike, honors the

Creator in his creatures.\"
