How to Make the Jägermeister Mule

It might look like a Moscow Mule, but this one has packed its bags and headed to Germany. Swap the vodka for Jägermeister and you’ve got yourself a whole new drink. Just try this Jägermeister Mule!

The Moscow Mule is one of the most searched cocktail recipes out there, and there’s a good reason why: ginger just works so beautifully in a drink. Now think about swapping the vodka for Jägermeister and you’ve got the Jägermeister Mule. It’s wonderfully simple. Just add ice cubes to your copper mug, pour in the Jägermeister, and top with chilled ginger ale or ginger beer. Garnish with a roll of fresh cucumber and a lime wedge! Here’s more about Jägermeister and the proper recipe.

Mini-Lush Guide to Jägermeister

For those of you who might not be familiar with Jägermeister, check out my full Lush Guide to Jägermeister. It’s an herbal liqueur made from 56 herbs, spices, fruits, and roots, including citrus peel, licorice, ginger, and 53 others! Here are a few fun facts:

• Curt Mast invented Jägermeister, or “Master Hunter.”
• The herbs and botanicals are ground, added to alcohol, sieved, and then left to age in oak barrels for a year.
• Just to clear up an urban myth, there is no actual stag’s blood in Jägermeister.
• It tastes bitter and sweet all at the same time, which is exactly why it works so well in cocktails.

What goes into a Jägermeister Mule?

A Mule cocktail is a variation on the now-classic Moscow Mule, whose origins you can read about here. It keeps the feel of the Moscow Mule, with ginger beer and lime, but replaces vodka with Jägermeister! A little cucumber is added as garnish too. Ginger is one of the core ingredients in Jägermeister itself, so the ginger beer really brings that hidden flavor forward.

• Jägermeister
• Ginger Beer
• Lime
• Cucumber
• Ice

Why Lush Life Loves It

The bittersweet, herbal warmth of Jägermeister plays so well against the spice of ginger beer, and the cucumber garnish keeps the whole thing feeling fresh rather than heavy. It’s the kind of drink that surprises people, since most folks only know Jägermeister as a shot, and watching them realize it makes a genuinely good cocktail is half the fun. Five minutes, one glass, and you’re done!
