Deer Hunter

2 oz chilled Jagermeister herbal liqueur
1 oz vodka
1 squeeze lemons
3 - 5 oz chilled root beer


Special instructions:
The Deer Hunter is a sweet drink, so it's good to use a spicy root beer like Barqs. Invented by Steven Spencer, Will Robinette and Anthony Dedousis in New York City, this drink was originally mixed south of Canal Street near Chinatown and Nancy's Whiskey Pub, a famous dive bar nearby. Nowadays the Deer Hunter is a beverage enjoyed all over the city, particularly with Jagermeister and film afficionados. Be careful, it goes down easy.Add ice to a collins glass. Pour Jagermeister and vodka over the ice (Jagermeister should be chilled, of course). Add root beer to fill glass/to taste, and then finish it off with a squeeze of a lemon-quarter, and serve.
