Deer Hunter recipe

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.

For a "Bloody" Deer Hunter, add a touch of grenadine. For another interesting variation, try a "Dr. Deer Hunter" by substituting Dr. Pepper for root beer.
