I vote, not just no but, gawds no! Jager is far too heavy and much more complex than what you are looking for in these particular circumstances. (Which is not to say that, in general, playing around with making a Jager based tiki drink wouldn't be a fun and interesting challenge to take a crack at.) My take vis a vis the whole Pernod/Herbsainte/Absinthe addition is to look for it in the wee airplane sized bottles. It'll still last you a decent amount of time, is much less expensive, and I find that about a half of a capful from those wee bottlecaps is just about the perfect amount.
