    Instructions:

    Step one

    Start this drink out by making sure that you have your Dr pepper, jager, bar spoon, jigger and highball glass ready to go.

    If you want to add an optional cherry garnish, toss three cherries on a cocktail pick and stick it in your glass.

    Step two

    Then, make sure you have your ice ready to go in your glass. You’ll want to make sure that your glass is almost full to the top with ice.

    Step three

    Get ready to add your Jager to your drink. Do this by taking your jigger and measuring 2 oz of jager.

    Then, pour your Jager into your highball glass over your ice.

    Step four

    Next, get ready to add your Dr Pepper to your drink. Do this by taking your jigger and measuring 4 oz of Dr pepper.

    Then, pour your Dr Pepper into your highball glass over your ice.

    Tip: for this drink it’s not essential to have exactly 4 oz of Dr pepper. If you don’t want to measure it out you can simply top your glass off with Dr pepper. The more Dr Pepper you use the less strong the Jager flavor will be.

    Step Five

    Finally, you want to make sure everything is mixed well. You can do this by using your bar spoon. Put your bar spoon in your glass and give everything a couple stirs.

    Make sure to not stir too fast or too hard as this could cause the Dr Pepper to fizz up.

    Sit back and enjoy!
