Med-acine
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.91 / 5
The "Med-acine" cocktail is a straightforward shooter that combines the sweetness of grenadine with the herbal and slightly licorice-like flavors of Jagermeister. This cocktail is typically served in a shot glass and is characterized by its layered appearance, with the dense grenadine sitting at the bottom and the Jagermeister floating on top. The visual effect mirrors the playful name "Med-acine," implying a medicinal or curative theme in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Its small volume makes it a quick and potent choice for a burst of flavor and a hit of alcohol in a social setting. The contrasting yet complementary ingredients create a unique taste experience, suitable for those who appreciate the rich and complex flavor of herbal liqueurs softened by a touch of sweetness.

Cocktail Colin says:

4/5

Med-acine is a punchy little shooter; grenadine's sweetness softens Jagermeister's complex herbal bite. Its layered presentation offers a playful, 'medicine-inspired' aesthetic with a finish that's surprisingly harmonious and potent.
