WHYNATTE

By definition, the traditional Whynatte cocktail is made with a hot or cold latte and an ice-cold shot of Jagermeister. However, over the years people have put their own stamp on them, and there now exists many different variations of the Whynatte.

With that said, here is the official Whynatte recipe:
1 hot or cold latte (Use the Whynatte Latte for best results)
1 chilled shot of Jagermeister
Pour latte into a pint glass
Drop Jager shot (shot glass and all) into the pint
Chug

The Details of Preparation:
1) Prepare a latte, and pour said latte into a pint glass. If using a chilled Whynatte Latte, skip down to step 3;
2) When using a hot latte, let it sit until you can keep your finger on the outside of the glass for about two seconds. You want the latte to be hot, but not too hot. You should be scared; fear is normal the first time you drink a Whynatte;
3) Procure an ice-cold shot of Jagermeister;
4) Drop the shot of Jagermeister into the pint glass much like you would execute any other type of “bomb” cocktail. When the Jagermeister is fully submerged into the latte, pound the drink like you’re pounding a flank steak.

Footnotes:
- Using coffee is acceptable when a bar does not carry the Whynatte Latte, nor have an espresso machine. It’s always better to do a Whynatte with coffee than to not do one at all. Make sure the coffee is good and hot. Fill a pint glass with about 2.5″ of coffee, and then stir in a small amount of cream. If you don’t have a real Whynatte Latte, I would recommend not trying to ice the coffee at the bar (just stick with the hot Whynatte). Another neat trick is using Bailey’s in lieu of cream.

-If the bar you’re at doesn’t carry the Whynatte Latte, keep your eyes peeled for a nearby coffee shop. We have been known to bring our own lattes to the bar, and encourage you to do the same. Typically, a large latte is good for thrice Whynattes at the bar. Incidentally, by the time you get the latte back to the bar, it should be the perfect temperature for consumption.

- If you’re trying to get drunk, but also trying to fall asleep, we recommend the Decaf Whynatte. Everything is the same, just substitute Decaf for Caf. Are we going to launch a decaf version of the Whynatte Latte? Probably not, but them’s the breaks home slice.

- If you can’t get your hands on Jagermeister, go ahead and use NyQuil or Benadryl.
