Review:
Famous and infamous.
History:
In Germany this drink is called a ‘Turbojäger’, a ‘Flying Hirsch’ with flying referencing Red Bull’s marketing slogan "Red Bull gives you wings" and Hirsch (German for ‘stag’) the Jägermeister logo. In Mexico, it is called a Perla Negra’ (Black Pearl) and in Finland, a ‘Akkuhappo’ (meaning ‘battery acid’).
A Jäger-train is a theatrical method of preparing a number of Jägerbombs at once. To do this set up a row of old-fashioned glasses with one extra glass than the number of drinkers at the end. Pour half-a-can of Red Bull into each of the old-old fashioned glasses. Pour Jägermeister into shot glasses and balance on the rims where each of the two old-fashioned glasses meet. Starting one end knock the first shot glass into the old-fashioned glass beneath and the rest should follow domino style.

If the shot glas with Jägermeister gets dropped into the energy drink it is indeed a Jägerbomb; if instead the Jägermeister is poured into the energy drink it is called a 'Flying Hirsch' - they are not synonyms!
In any case, key to make this connoction delicious is to get the Jägermeister as cold as possible (freezer stored or special refrigeration machine), same with energy drink (fridge).
Cheers.
