Start by pouring 6 ounces of Red Bull into a drinking glass that holds at least 10 ounces. This gives you enough room for the shot glass to drop in without spilling everywhere.
Next, pour 2 ounces of Jägermeister into your shot glass. Make sure you're using a proper 2-ounce shot glass for the best experience.
Now comes the fun part—decide how you want to enjoy your Jager Bomb. For the traditional method, drop the entire shot glass into the Red Bull and chug everything at once. For the chaser method, shoot the Jägermeister first and immediately follow it with the Red Bull.
Notes
Always use a glass that's at least 10 ounces - This prevents overflow when you drop the shot glass in and gives you enough room to handle the drink comfortably.
Never make this in advance - The Red Bull will go flat if you let it sit, so always prepare your Jager Bomb right before you're ready to drink it.
Drop from low height - When dropping the shot glass in, hold it just above the Red Bull's surface to minimize splashing and maximize the fizz.
Use chilled ingredients - Both the Jägermeister and Red Bull taste better when they're cold, so keep them in the fridge before making your drink.
The true bomb experience requires the drop - While both methods are delicious, traditionalists know that a Jager Bomb isn't really a "bomb" unless you drop the shot glass into the Red Bull and drink them together.
