What You'll Need to Make the Recipe

Jägermeister: This famous German herbal liqueur brings an unmistakable zest to the shooter. With its blend of 56 herbs, spices, and botanicals, Jägermeister serves as the sophisticated backbone of this shot, lending complexity and a touch of mystery.

Hot Damn Cinnamon Schnapps: This cinnamon schnapps gives the drink its fire. Hot Damn! grounds the rich flavors of the other ingredients with a spicy kick, balancing sweetness with a bit of heat. If you feel adventurous, you can swap this with a different brand of cinnamon schnapps, or even Fireball Cinnamon Whisky for a slightly different take.

Kahlua: Known for its coffee-flavored liqueur, Kahlua brings an essential deep, roasted sweetness to the mix. It's the flavor that comes in like a cozy blanket, enveloping the bold notes of Jägermeister and Hot Damn, making everything harmonize just so.

Cream: Finally, a splash of cream rounds off the edges and brings a velvety softness to the drink. You could use heavy cream for the richest experience, half-and-half for a lighter touch, or even a non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk if you prefer.
