Snake Bomb!
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.7 / 5
The Snake Bomb is a daring twist on the traditional 'snakebite,' a popular drink that typically combines equal parts of lager and cider. What sets the Snake Bomb apart is the infusion of Jägermeister and blackcurrant cordial, which adds a unique depth to the cocktail's flavor profile. The blackcurrant cordial imparts a rich, fruity sweetness that complements the herbal and slightly bitter notes of Jägermeister. Meanwhile, the blend of lager and cider creates a refreshing and effervescent foundation, resulting in a beverage that is both potent and palatable. Served in a pint glass, the Snake Bomb offers a bold, multifaceted drinking experience designed for those who appreciate a strong and dynamic cocktail.
