History

Origin: Created by David Cordoba and made in September 2008 for yours truly and others to try at my Cabinet Room in London. Jeffrey Morgenthaler, who was among the influential bartenders present that night, took the Jägerita back to Portland, Oregon, where he wrote about that night and David's whacky Margarita on JeffreyMorgenthaler.com. Then, in 2014, he included it on the opening menu of his bar, Pépé Le Moko. Thanks to Morgenthaler's influence, the Jägerita has gone on to become a contemporary classic.

Very complex and refreshing Cocktail and a very good use of a left over Jägermeister Bottle. Adding a pinch of salt and a little extra lime juice took this drink from being very good to being exceptional on a very hot summer evening!

Very good cocktail. It shows really well that Jägermeister can be use to make good cocktails and that its flavor can really mix well in a drink other than Jäger bombs... I feel like Jägermeister is really underrated in the cocktail game and deserve better.
