No. 9: Energy Drink Cocktails
Before we leave the top ten restaurant trends for 2007 and move on to the other 184, I would like to say that I'm astounded no one has mentioned No. 9, energy drink cocktails.
I had only a hazy idea of what they are -- although it was easy to guess -- and a cursory Google search turned up only one recipe (for a Jager Bomb):
- 1 oz Jägermeister
- 1/2 can Red Bull energy drink
and 20 articles about the dangers of energy drink cocktails.
The one positive thing I can say is that only 5 percent of chefs think they are a "perennial favorite." And they all work in College Park.

Jagerbombs were the dumbest things I ever did in college. I can't even think about Jagermeister without getting sick to my stomach anymore.

The ONLY reason I now consider a Jagerbomb a must-try cocktail is that the warning articles outnumber the recipe articles by 20 to 1. Anything that dangerous must be fun.

Jagerbombs = rotgut.

To further clarify,
Jagerbombs are always a bad idea.
A night on the town takes a turn for the worse the moment you start doing Jagerbombs.
It's a proven mathematical equation: Your chances of waking up in the gutter double with every Jagerbomb consumed.

As a general rule, conversations that start out with: "So, I was doing Jagerbombs." Do not end with any of the following:
1. and I ended up getting the promotion.
2. and that's how I met your mother
3. and that's how I saved money on car insurance.
