History
Adapted from a drink promoted by Jägermeister and inspired by ginger root, one of the 56 herbs and spices that flavour Jägermeister.

Comments & Discussion
Instead of Jägermeister I used a lokal Bitter called Bullenschluck. Because the Ginger Beer was still very spicy I added some Orgeat. That made it nice and creamy.
Bullenschluck is very very regional Oldenburg near Bremen. I am sure other regions have similar bitters, as there are many many in germany. So honestly, nice move but maybe not available for everybody.
