\"\"Now, J\u00e4germeister is nothing new. In fact its notoriety is fabled. Many of us have vague memories of nights out where events took a hazy turn once someone shouted \u201cshots at the bar!\u201d Many spirits can be accused here,\u00a0and J\u00e4germeister is normally one of the usual suspects that are responsible for reaching said tipping point. Elysium Magazine is a firm believer in everything in moderation so we\u2019re not condoning excessive drinking, but let\u2019s say that sometimes you just want to have a good time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Now reaching for the J\u00e4germeister is perfectly fine. The spirit has been around for more than 80 years (some say even earlier). The name actually translates to \u2018hunt master\u2019 which sounds very manly indeed. While the unique taste of the spirit is made up of 56 different herbs, blossoms, roots and fruits from across the world including star anise, cinnamon bark and ginger roots. These elements are brought together in a process called maceration where the mixture of ingredients is suspended in alcohol-water that extracts the aromatic compounds and essential oils from the herbs. After thorough filtering, the J\u00e4germeister is then stored in oak casks for one year so it can mature its distinct flavour. Once it\u2019s ready, it\u2019s mixed with alcohol, liquid sugar, caramel and soft water to become the finished article. It\u2019s something we all know, love and perhaps fear (well some of you at least!).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the best way to enjoy this tipple then? When with friends in the comfort of your own home, stick a bottle in the freezer while you catch up. Soon enough the J\u00e4germeister will be ready to enjoy as an ice cold shot. Alternatively there are a number of cocktails you can easily mix up \u2013 further details of recipes can be found at the web link below.<\/p>\n
