The Surfer on Acid is a contemporary cocktail that offers a unique twist with its blend of tropical and herbal flavors.

Served chilled in a shot glass, the Surfer on Acid provides a quick, flavorful escape to a tropical paradise, albeit with an unexpected German twist. Its name playfully alludes to its beachy vibe and the bold choice of Jägermeister, which together create a memorable and adventurous drinking experience.
