We all have a similar story – shots of Jägermeister at a college frat party, or even mixed with Red Bull. But we have (mostly) grown up, and so has Jägermeister. So forget the Jäger-bombs and check out one of these recipes, created by some of the best in the business, so you can finally put to use that bottle of Jagermeister that you probably have tucked away somewhere.

Bars and restaurants around NYC are also getting in on the action, crafting cocktails made with Jägermeister as an ingredient.

If you are out and want to try a Jäger craft cocktail for yourself, you can try the The Inside Scoop at The Third Man in Alphabet City, which is a Jäger, yellow chartreuse root beer float. Seamstress on the Upper East Side has the Province, an herbal liqueur-heavy cocktail and Amor y Amargo in the East Village is serving up The Bachelorette with absinthe, aged rum and Jägermeister.

It you happen by the Garret in the West Village and want a drink to end your night then you should order the Seriously Ain’t Fancy, that is a throwback to the shots that I took on my 21st birthday, that includes Jägermeister, Fireball, Jameson, and tequila.
