In Pursuit

Jägermeister can be seen as an illustration of foreign cultures. The outside looks a bit strange but you are sure that there is something cool inside. Then you taste, and get your first culture shock. Then you realize that cultures are destined to blend and mix. The question then is what to mix with. This was the question some friends and I tried to solve yesterday.

To give you a very short answer: Red Bull (or also, if you have access to a Swedish foodstore, "Hallonsoda") works best.

Why, one might ask, am I writing about Jägermeister. Well, yesterdays tasting was intendend to mark an auspicious occasion, namely that I been offered to spend the first half of 2007 in Düsseldorf, to improve my German and do an internship.
