Jaegermeister IS a black licorice medicine, black licorice is a root known to aid indigestion and tummy aches, and people have been using herbed liquor to remedy just about everything including coughs since they invented it.
My grandmother in Germany still takes a shot of herbed liquor after meals and when she feels a sore throat coming on.   See 7 other replies

I also do not like Jager. It tastes like a bad, licorice-flavored cough syrup to me, as well. The only times I've not minded the flavor is when I've already been nearly legless...at that point, who cares about the flavor?Otherwise, Jager is pretty nasty in my opinion.   See 7 other replies

I would totally use the same system. Get a bit of a buzz every time you get a glass of water! Win-win!   See 7 other replies

To me, the cough medicine seems to be Vicks 44, perhaps even concentrated a bit. Perfect call on the Black Licorice taste! A can't stand that taste (especially well described by the person that brought up anise/fennel).Yuck!   See 7 other replies

i generally cant stand Jager, but i do like Jagerbombs because you cant really taste anise/fennel flavor.Which obviously has something to do with the red bull.. red bull is also one of those drinks that i cant stand the taste of alone.. but with vodka (absolut mandarin is the best) or in this case Jager, i can stand it.. I generally dont like vodka either but i dont mind it mixed with RB...I will point out though that my dislike for vodka stemmed from never having drank quality vodka until about 8 years ago. After trying Grey Goose and Belvedere as Martinis I quickly changed my mind. Also for those of you that dont already know this you can essentially turn cheap vodka into much better tasting vodka by running it through a Brita (or similar) water filtering system** The overall quality of vodka taste depends on its purity.**Disclaimer: Do not try this without having a separate system or filter replacement ;-)   See 7 other replies

You are not alone, my friend.Although my extreme dislike for Jager comes from my much earlier extreme dislike for black licorice, I think it's one of the worst flavours EVER.I was convinced to drink a Jagerbomb once, and never, ever again.   See 7 other replies
