Jägermeister hosted the latest meeting of their traveling exclusive international party society the Jäger Stags Club at the Lower East Side hot spot Drexler’s. As a Jägermeister novice, I was eager to have my first taste of the best-selling imported liqueur in the U.S. The Herbal infused elixir did not disappoint.
The Drexler mixologists created a variety of Jägermeister cocktails to celebrate the occasion. The JÄGNOG was my personal favorite, a sophisticated re-imagining of traditional egg nog. Jägermeister’s cinnamon, cardamom, and spicy notes really evoked the taste of the original with flavors taken to new levels. It is the perfect cocktail for the Holidays.
The night was hosted by Nils Boese, a Jägermeister Global Brand Ambassador from Hildesheim, Germany. Mr. Boese enthusiastically announced the event was also a celebration of Willy Shine, the globally acclaimed mixologist, and newly appointed Jägermeister Brand Meister. The Jägermeister team kept attendees fully entertained with a soulful soundtrack, a tattoo station, and a live art competition.
