Why It's Time to Drink More Jägermeister
This cocktail will convince you you need more of the German amaro in your life.
Black Apple Old-Fashioned
For most drinkers of a certain age, Jägermeister is the unofficial source of many bad decisions. But here it acts as the base of a bone-warming drink that combines the herbal notes of the liqueur with apple brandy for a decidedly adult way to fortify oneself after a day out in the cold.

6 Classic Cocktails—and the Riffs That Take Them Up a Notch
Spin your Old Fashioned (or Negroni, or Manhattan, or Sazerac) into an entirely different drink.
That'll Take the Edge Off
Inspired by a Sazerac, here's a super boozy, herbal-Scotchy drink that'll relax your shoulders, loosen your tongue, and clear your mind—basically, everything you need a stiff drink to do.
Aviation Cocktail
This classic cocktail, made with gin, lemon, maraschino, and violette, dates back to 1916.
Bittersweet Symphony
We love a fun twist on a classic cocktail—this Negroni riff is mellowed by an extra splash of gin and punched up with herbaceous Punt e Mes in place of the standard sweet vermouth.
Sforzando
This cocktail is a smoky variation on the Manhattan, created by bartender Eryn Reece during her tenure at Death & Co.
Little Italy Cocktail
This Manhattan variation from Audrey Saunders of Pegu Club in NYC starts with rye and vermouth, then adds Cynar amaro to appealing effect.
Oaxaca Old Fashioned
The king of mezcal cocktails.
Forget Long-Stemmed Roses, Make Your Valentine Rose Cocoa
This Valentine's Day, put the roses in a special hot drink for your special someone.
Rose Cocoa
This dairy-free cocoa uses fragrant coconut milk as its base. Dried rose petals bring an extra dose of floral aroma and flavor—not to mention romance.
East India Negroni
This riff on the Negroni cocktail is made with rum and a rich blend of oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries.
Bitter French
This cocktail is a sort of marriage between a French 75 (a classic drink that combines gin, citrus, and Champagne) and a Negroni.
Tartiflette
This may sound like some ancient Alpine classic, but it's rather more modern than you'd expect.
Casino Cocktail
This gin cocktail is essentially an Aviation with orange bitters instead of Crème de violette.
