Step four

Next, add your orange juice. You can do this by taking your jigger and measuring 4 oz and then pouring that into your glass.

Or, you can simply take the orange juice and pour it directly into the glass topping it off. This method usually results in a slightly more orange juice which will temper the Jager flavor a little.

Step Five

Next, you’ll need to stir your drink together. To do this you can either carefully dump the contents of the glass into your shaker and then from the shaker back to the glass.

Alternatively, you can leave everything in the highball glass and take a bar spoon. Then use the bar spoon to gently stir your drink together.
