Black Hole Shot – Jägermeister & Rumplemintz Layered Shooter
A bold, chilling shot where Jägermeister® meets Rumplemintz® for a cosmic clash of herbs and mint. The Black Hole Shot is dark, smooth, and icy-bright — a perfect showpiece for late-night adventures.
A Layered Legend
The Black Hole Shot gets its name from the striking contrast between dark herbal Jägermeister and luminous Rumplemintz. This two-ingredient stunner balances warmth and chill, sweet spice and peppermint fire.
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- ½ oz Jägermeister® – herbal depth with 56 botanicals.
- ½ oz Rumplemintz® – peppermint intensity and high-proof sparkle.
Equipment
- Shot glass
- Bar spoon (for layering)
How to Make It
- Chill both spirits thoroughly.
- Pour Rumplemintz® into a shot glass.
- Slowly layer Jägermeister® on top using the back of a spoon.
- Serve immediately while layers remain distinct.
Flavor Profile
Earthy herbs collide with mint frost — sweet, hot, and silky all at once. Despite its simplicity, the Black Hole Shot feels complex and theatrical.
Variations & Twists
- Swap Rumplemintz for crème de menthe for a lower-proof, sweeter version.
- Add a drop of espresso liqueur between layers for a “Dark Matter” twist.
- Chill the glass itself for crisp, clean separation.
Bartender Tip
Both liqueurs layer best when cold — keep bottles in the freezer. Serve under dim light so the colors pop.
