Gin and Juice

Welcome back my fellow mixers to another issue of Mixers for you Mixer! For today, we will explore a concoction for our new spirit, Gin. This easy and simplistic mixer is known as “Gin and Juice”.  As its name implies, this combination involves Gin and juice from a variety of fruit. So without further ado, let us create and explore “Gin and Juice”.

For this mixer, the following ingredients are required:

Gin (your preference. For myself, I will choose Bombay Sapphire Gin)

Orange Juice

Grapefruit Juice

Lime

Now let’s get started!

Step #1

Pour 2 oz. of your preferred gin and grapefruit juice, and  3 oz. orange juice in to shaker

Step #2

Fill a highball glass ¾ of the way with ice cubes and the pour into shaker

Step #3

Shake well and pour mixture back into highball glass.

Step #4

Garnish with a slice of lime and serve

Step #5

ENJOY!!

This simplistic mixer serves as a great staple at any get-together. I truly enjoyed it. The whole grapefruit and orange juice combination still seems a little odd in terms of mixer pairings, but still turned out to be a winner in my books. Well…this mixes up another issue of Mixers for your Mixer! Until next time my fellow mixers…HAPPY MIXING!

The "Woody" Liquor - Gin

A royal liquor!

Welcome back my fellow mixers to another issue of Mixers for you Mixer! Today, we move forward away from Jagermeister for now and towards a new intriguing spirit. At this point, I thought I was going to be my warpath of rambling on and on all of these great drinks that I get to sample. However, it wasn’t until recently that I realized that I forgot a very important liquor that I would be ashamed not to mention in a blog revolving around mixed drinks.  So without further ado, I would like to present to you all: Gin.

Gin – A brief history

Gin’s origin can be traced as far back as the 11^th century.  The first production of Gin was by Italian monks during the era of the Black Plague. It was discovered somewhat by accident when the monks were mixing juniper berries with malted spirits. Despite this, the Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius has been credited with this liquors creation during the 17^th-century.  During the early 18^th century, in London, turpentine was used in the combination with the Gin in order to give it a notable “woody” flavor and scent.  In times of prohibition, Gin was the most commonly made spirit simply due to its simplicity to create. These spirits were referred to as “bathtub gins”.

I hope this brief history Gin has gotten your mixing blood rearing to get crazy with this simple liquor. Until next time my fellow mixers…HAPPY MIXING!

The Flaming Nazi

A very HOT recipe!

Welcome back everyone to another issue of Mixers for you Mixer! I would like take a little time aside to thank those individuals who have taken the time to read my posts and/or make posts on them. Every view and comment is the greatest support a blogger could ever receive. Thanks again everyone! Now without further ado, I would like to present to you all the recipe “The Flaming Nazi”. Even though half of the name in this recipe has a bad stigma to it, I guarantee that is not my intentions. Real quick, I do have to say that Jager provides a nice variety of mixers even though they are referred to as shooters. Jagermeister is very unique just being the only liqueur of its kind.

The ingredients needed for this recipe are as follows:

Jagermeister Herbal Liqueur

DuKuyper Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps

Now let’s get to mixing!

REMEMBER: Please be sure that both liqueurs are cold before beginning this mixture

Step #1:

Start by pouring 1 oz. of Jagermeister in to a glass.

Step #2:

Pour 1 oz. Dukuyper Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps into the along with the Jagermeister

Step #3:

ENJOY!

Like I mentioned earlier in this post, I truly admire Jagermeister for its uniqueness. This recipe definitely delivered. I would have to say the best thing about this drink is the flavor. That licorice taste with a mild bite of cinnamon added to it. I definitely would have to say that this drink a “Hot One”. I would like thank you all for reading. I look forward to moving on from Jagermeister for a while to new interesting liquor. Until next time my fellow mixer…HAPPY MIXING!

The Fire Truck!!!

Welcome back my fellow mixers to Mixers for your Mixer! For todays recipe, I’ll continue onward through mixers based upon the Jagermeister spirit. In the previous Jager recipe, I left a hint to as to what the next mixer was going to be.  Even though the image clearly gives away the name of the mixer away, it’s interesting to find a drink named after the vehicle depicted in the image from the above image. Ladies and gentleman, I give the “Fire Truck” Recipe.

This mixer requires the following ingredients for the are as follows:

Jagermeister Herbal Liqueur

Ginger Ale

Now let’s get read to mix!

Step #1:

Start by adding 2 oz.  of Jagermeister Herbal Liqueur to a highball glass. Ice is optional.

Step #2:

Pour 4 oz. of Ginger Ale into the High Ball glass.

Step #3:

Gently Stir the mixture for a little bit

Step #4:

Serve up and ENJOY!!

This mixer is quite enjoyable. I love hoe the licorice flavor of the Jagermeister with ginger ale to create a small rush of flavor that happens t to be extremely delicious and refreshing. Even though I  do say how unique these drinks are, all of them are truly unique in their own way.  Another variation of this drink is to substitute red soda in place of the ginger ale. If I were to try this one, it would definitely be a strawberry-based drink by Faygo. Well…that bout raps another tasty mixer for ya’ll to go out use at your mixer. I look forward to bringing more drinks form the land of Jager in the future. Remember is you have a unique or favorite drink you would like to see made or reviewed, please feel to leave your suggestion in the the comments bellows in the section “Order Up!” Until next my fellow mixers…HAPPY MIXING!

A small detour - The Greyhound

Off to the bars!!

Welcome back my fellow mixers to Mixers for your mixer! I know that the current theme for the last few mixers has been involving Jagermeister. However, I had a reader mention a different drink that involves Vodka. This will only be small detour on our journey through Jagermeitster So without further ado...I present to you all the “Greyhound” For this simple mixer, you will need the following ingredients:

Grapefuit Juice

Vodka (your preference…for myself, I’ll go with Smirnoff Blue Label)

Step #1:

Start off by pouring 2 oz. of your preferred vodka in to a highball glass with a few ice cubes

Step #2:

Pour 5 oz. of grapefruit juice into the highball glass

Step #3:

Stir well and ENJOY!!

This was a very interesting recipe to come across.  I thought as first that this drink would be little “funky” in terms of taste. However, I was proven quite wrong! Even though there is a minor bitterness to it, this unique drink is very enjoyable. This would definitely be a drink I would recommend having one of in the event of a hangover.  However, I would use a lest potent vodka In addition, the grapefruit adds a more nutritional value to the drink. I would like to give a shout out to Otter Feathers for the suggestion. That’s all I have for you now mixers! Until next time…HAPPY MIXING!

An out of this world mixer!

Even aliens can enjoy mixers!

Welcome back my fellow mixers to another post of Mixers for your Mixer! Last time, I gave you all a little hint as to what the next mixer was going to be. Were you able to figure out what is was. Well it’s finally here. Straight from another world, I give you the Jager shit mixer “A Little Green Man from Mars.”

The following is the list of ingredients needed for this mixer:

1 mint green Maraschino cherry

½ oz Jagermeister herbal liqueur

½ oz Rumple Minze Peppermint liquer

Let’s Go!

Step #1:

Start by removing the stem from the mint green maraschino cherry. Place the cherry into a large shot glass.

Step #2:

Pour in the Jagermeister herbal liqueur and Rumple Minze Peppermnint Liqueur into the shot glass

Step #3:

Serve and Enjoy!

This shot was very interesting to say the least. The refreshing mint taste of Rumple Minze adds to already delicious licorice flavor that the Jagermeister already provides. Even the mint green maraschino cherry adds a little twist to the shot. I have no preference nor care as to having the cherry in it or not. This  refreshing mixer is definitely not one to pass up in my books and I look forward to enjoying more of this out of world shot. I would like to thank you all for reading this post. Until next time, HAPPY MIXING!!

Below you can see a clue to the next drink that is going to be posted. Can you can what this tasty recipe is? ‘Til next time. Later!

The Jager Monster Shot

An addition to any speedy recovery

Welcome fellow mixers to another post of the Mixers for your mixers! Today we continue on journey with the liquor Jagermeister. We’ll focus on an all-time favorite recipe. This Jager mixer is known as the “Jager Monster Shot”. Even though the word Monster is thorn into it, it does not refer to the energy we know as Monster. If fact, there is no energy drink element in to this shot at all. The following is a list of needed 

ingredients to create this very tasteful shot:

Jagermeister

Orange Juice

Grenadine Syrup

Step #1;

Pour 1 ½ of Jagermeister, 1 oz. Orange Juice and a splash of grenadine syrup with ice in to a shaker.

Step #2:

Strain the mixture in to a shot glass.

Step #3:

BOTTOMS UP!

Now, let’s discuss the details of this fine mixer. To my surprising, this drink was very delicious. Not only was the smooth rich texture present in this shot, but the flavor as well was rich. I would have normally by-passed this drink because of the common association of having Orange Juice being more of a breakfast commodity but, considering it served as a mixer for the alcohol. I recommend this drink as a recovery or “hair of the dog” for the following day. Well, I hope you enjoyed this week’s drink. Just below is a hint to our next special Jager concoction. Until next toe mixers…Happy Mixing!

This stranger is not too far from home!
