Thank you Heinz for the information. Other than the "alcohol kick", does the mixture serve any purpose in/after a meal? I kind of remember reading somewhere that certain herbal drinks were used to help with the digestion of certain foods. Is Jägermeister one of them? And would there be a popular non-alcoholic version of a digestive herbal drink in Germany? Any information would be helpful. I have been trying to learn more about my German heritage since my parents passed away. Take care, Mark Unfortunately, Mark, it's store bought. "Jägermeister" is the brand name for a herbal spirit.

<<Other than the "alcohol kick", does the mixture serve any purpose in/after a meal? I kind of remember reading somewhere that certain herbal drinks were used to help with the digestion of certain foods. Is Jägermeister one of them?>> Yes, Mark. At least the company claims that it would. I have to confess that it dosn't do very much for my own digestion though. But different individuals may react differently. Another well-known German herbal digestif is "Underberg". <<And would there be a popular non-alcoholic version of a digestive herbal drink in Germany?>> Not that i know.
