Rating

3.88 / 5
The Surfer on Acid is a contemporary cocktail that offers a unique twist with its blend of tropical and herbal flavors. This quirky shooter combines the sweet, nutty flavors of coconut rum with the tartness of pineapple juice, and it is rounded out by the complex, slightly bitter herbal notes of Jägermeister. 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.
