Jägerbomb - The number One - History!

The Jägerbomb, or occasionally Jagbomb, is a cocktail combining one shot of Jägermeister dropped into a glass of an energy drink, usually Red Bull. It is commonly held that if any other brand of energy drink is used, the resulting beverage is not truly a Jägerbomb. It is referred to as a "Jäger-Bull" in German speaking countries, as well as in English Bar chain Wetherspoon's. In Austria it is called "Flying Hirsch", where Hirsch means deer in German and is inspired by the Jägermeister logo.

The drink was invented by an Australian student "Costa Charles" while he was studying in Thailand. Costa was known around the clubs on Bangkok's famous tourist strip Khao San Road as "The Rash". As Red Bull originated in Thailand and sells for as low as 10 baht (25 cents) per bottle, the drink became very popular with locals and tourists a like. Many tourists introduced the drink to colleagues upon returning to their home countires which led to it's popularity being spread worldwide.
