midwestern suicide booth

2 oz Jeppson's Malort

4 oz Charged yuzu lemonade

If the lemonade doesn't kill you, the Malort will make you wish you had been predisposed to heart failure.

I hadn't actually. I saw one about mixing it with vodka to make "five loko" and from there....

It's a Swedish emigrant that started making it, I'm pretty sure from the descriptions of it that it's a bäsk

I believe that's where the name comes from. There's probably some wormwood in there, as well as 99 other plants with very strong and unique flavors.

I was actually making a Chicago joke, but you made it so much better!

Lol i had no idea what Malort is when I see this post. After some googling, the title fits really really well.

That name, OMG.

I can't even begin to imagine how this tastes. Maybe sake for the next round?

Remember highschool biology classes where they had jars of random dead animals? They get malort from the juice in those jars.

I had a bartender challenge me to a shot of Malort a couple weeks ago and honestly I don't get the hype, it just tastes like a unsweetened Jager.

I mean, it's a herbal bitter, where jager is a sweetened herbal bitter, makes sense.

Many people have a strong reaction to strongly bitter tastes, especially younger people. I dont know if i'm "learning to appreciate complex tastes" with age, or if my taste buds are just getting less sensitive :D but i kinda like bitters nowadays.

Well I'm in my mid 20s so maybe I'm just predisposed. People also seem to like my cooking so maybe you've got a point with the complex tastes.

I like fernets, cynar, absinthe and other herbal liquors. If you like those things, malort is fine. Malort gets a bad wrap for being a lot worse than it actually is.

I love chartreuse. I think it makes no impact on how gross malort is because it is pretty awful. It's such a rotten flavor.

I'm acquiring those tastes but a taste of malort and you definitely think "I don't want to acquire a taste for that".
