Geiger Counter - Jägermeister & Overproof Rum Shooter

The Geiger Counter combines equal parts Jägermeister® and overproof rum in a compact, high-proof shooter. Jägermeister brings bittersweet herbs, roots, citrus, and spice, while the rum adds concentrated alcohol and dry sugarcane character.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Jägermeister® - supplies the dark herbal and bittersweet base.
• Overproof Rum - provides the high-proof rum character and strong finish.

Equipment

• Shot Glass
• Jigger
• Bar spoon

Herbal Meets High Proof

The contrast is straightforward: sweet, herbal Jägermeister against a much drier and stronger rum. Serving both ingredients cold makes the combination cleaner and easier to control.

Substitutions & Variations

• Use standard-proof aged rum for a less intense variation.
• Another bittersweet amaro can replace Jägermeister, though the drink's flavor will change.
• Stir the two ingredients briefly with ice and strain if you prefer a colder, slightly diluted shot.

Helpful Tips

• Chill both bottles before pouring.
• Measure the overproof rum carefully.
• Do not ignite the drink or serve it with an open flame.
• Serve immediately.
