Jägermeister is a German herbal liqueur (Kräuterlikör). It is not a simple spirit like vodka or rum; rather, it is a distilled base (often described as a neutral spirit) infused with a proprietary blend of herbs, roots, fruits, and spices—commonly cited as 56 ingredients. It sits in the digestif category, typically enjoyed after meals, and has an ABV of about 35%.
