Jägermeister Scharf is the boldest expression in the Jägermeister Charakter family — taking the iconic 56-herb-and-spice formula of the original and amplifying it with a powerful hot ginger kick. "Scharf" means "sharp" or "hot" in German, and that's exactly what this delivers. Built on the same Kräuterlikör base that has made Jägermeister one of the world's best-selling liqueurs for decades, Scharf layers in fiery ginger heat that makes every shot feel alive. It's the Jäger for people who want more bite.
Best served ice cold as a shot or as the base for a spicy Jäger Mule or Moscow Mule variation. The red cap and bold label design set it apart from the original — and the heat sets it apart from every other herbal liqueur on the shelf.
