Instructions

In an effort to create a cocktail using Jagermeister, the drink originated in 1997 at the Famous Sport Bar in Livingston, MT by local legends Cole Murphy and Dan Divens. Ultimately its a fusion of a tall Rum and coke with a shot of Jagermeister which at first was pretty strong and coined the Rough Johnny. Adding a half of a Coffee Creamer smoothed out the taste into a delicious Dr. Pepper-ish tasting beverage and soon became the favorite among locals and visitors alike at the classic watering hole. The Classic 'Sport' restaurant in Livingston has since changed hands and met an unfortunate demise as a casino, but the drink made its way all the way to Boise, Coeur D' Alene, Portland and Seattle.1 oz.

About Smooth Johnny

The Smooth Johnny is a unique cocktail that combines the bold flavors of Jagermeister and spiced rum with the lightness of diet soda, creating a distinctive taste experience. The herbal and slightly bitter notes of Jagermeister are complemented by the warm spices of the rum, while the effervescence of the soda adds a refreshing quality. The addition of a splash of creamer provides a creamy texture that balances the strong flavors, resulting in a smooth and intriguing drink.

The origins of the Smooth Johnny are not well-documented, making it a bit of a mystery in the cocktail world. It likely emerged as a creative variation on more traditional mixed drinks, appealing to those who enjoy experimenting with bold flavors. This drink's combination of ingredients showcases the versatility of Jagermeister beyond its typical use as a shot or digestif, blending it seamlessly with spiced rum and creamy elements for a modern twist. The Smooth Johnny is perfect for adventurous cocktail enthusiasts looking to try something new and exciting.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Beer Mug or Pilsner Glass, though any glass works!
