I'm sure you've heard of the saying: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Well, the same applies in Germany. Considered a national drink alongside beer, the spezi is a genericized trademark amongst the German population of all ages. And you’d never guess, but adding Jäger to the drink is the secret ingredient in this cocktail!

Many people correlate Jägermeister with bad memories in college, but it was definitely meant for more than shots and bombs into energy drinks.
