The Chuck Norris! sits firmly in the bold, party-shot-turned-long-drink camp: big liqueur measures, topped up in a pint glass for maximum impact. It doesn’t come with a widely agreed origin story, but it fits the modern “name-first” era of playful, high-octane mixes where the character is loud, sweet, and unapologetic. Think of it as a liqueur-forward cooler that leans into intensity rather than subtlety.
You’ll find Jägermeister’s deep herbal sweetness setting the base, with cherry liqueur layering on a bright, candy-like fruit note that pushes the drink firmly into sweet territory. D.O.M. Bénédictine adds a rich honeyed-herbal complexity that thickens the mid-palate and makes the liqueur blend feel more rounded than a simple fruit mix. Lemonade lifts everything with fizz and citrusy sweetness, keeping the heavier liqueurs from feeling too dense.
Serve this when you want something easy-drinking but undeniably punchy—house parties, game nights, and big-group pre-drinks suit it best. If you like herbal liqueurs and sweet cherry flavours, you’ll enjoy how it stays smooth and soda-bright while still tasting unmistakably “liqueur-led.” It’s also a crowd-pleaser for anyone who normally finds straight liqueurs too intense on their own.

Cocktail Colin says:
Jagermeister’s herbal-bitter punch leads, wrapped in thick cherry liqueur fruitiness and DOM Benedictine’s honeyed spice, while a lemonade top-up adds fizzy citrus that lightens the heavy liqueur base. It works because the lemonade’s acidity and bubbles cut through the syrupy sweetness and tame the bitterness; ideal for party drinkers who like loud, sweet-herbal long drinks.
