Jagermeister is produced from a mysterious blend of 56 fruits, roots and herbs with 35% alcohol. The recipe was developed in 1935 and still remains a closely guarded secret today. On the edge of the label of a Jagermeister bottle, the following poem by Otto von Riesenthal is printed: (translated in English) 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. So before you go hunting tonight – make sure you have an Ice Cold Shot of Jagermeister!
