It’s Friday, and whether you're planning a lively night out or a quiet evening at home with a glass of wine or champagne, one elderly gentleman on the internet has already set the party mood in his own unique way — by pouring herbal liqueur over his ice cream. Yes, you read that right.

The man named Nonno Mario, has captured the internet’s attention with his unfiltered love for Jägermeister, a popular German herbal liqueur.

In a recent video, Mario is seen enjoying the chilled dessert with an unexpected twist — a generous splash of alcohol.

Take a look at the video below

Elderly man prepares Jägermeister ice cream

Facing the camera with a half-filled cup of ice cream, the man appears momentarily unimpressed with his dessert. To “fix” it, he reaches for a bottle of Jägermeister and pours a hearty amount into the glass, creating what he calls “Jägermeister ice cream.”

He gently mixes the two ingredients. Once done, he takes a bite. What happens next is pure bliss.

Dance to celebrate it better!

The moment the liqueur hits, the elderly man is visibly thrilled. He breaks into an impromptu dance, grooving to an energising DJ track playing in the background. His pure joy and energy instantly turn the clip into a celebration of life, flavour, and fun.

To top it off, he takes a few sips straight from the bottle, fuelling an even livelier round of dancing that has social media users amused.

The video, posted on Instagram earlier this May, has since gone viral — racking up over 2,50,000 likes and counting.
