- Malort: it's a Chicago thing people love (to hate). Sold as "medicinal" liquor during prohibition, today the bitter booze is a right of passage. Meet the people bringing the legendary spirit back to its hometown.
My Chicago cousin sent a bottle of Malört to my wife and I in Reno at the beginning of Covid19™️ Quarantine. (sometime in April 2020)
Me, my wife, and my wife’s uncle all took a shot and decided “this bottle is going to last us two years.”
We ended up finishing it in a few hours and ordered two more bottles online for the following weekend. 🇺🇸
Gtfo. You ever heard of the bar Victorian Saloon in Sparks ? I used to get bottles of Malört delivered there all the time. Love me some shoe polish!!!
You DID NOT TM The Coof! 😂😂😂😂
Malort: The Cure For Alcoholism. :)
Malort is genuinely delicious to me. It tastes like drinking an entire IPA in one shot, with hints of Ricola
sorry sam, youre just wrong
Tasted like licorice when I tried it about 5-6 years ago. But spicy.
Malort: how to make your out-of-town friends hate you (or love you!)
Bored in Chicago I’m a transplant living in St. Louis, (thank you, military family) I gave my drummer a shot and he still hasn’t forgiven me.
Daniel Tinker hahaha the way to do it!
Sweden here! The Swedish word for wormwood is malört. When we mix wormwood with vodka it's called aquavit. I wonder how it got lost in translation *.*
Aaaahh-ha moment! must be the wormwood that got me so so blind-wasted when a buddy & I downed some aquavit one time at an after-hours club - we could not remember how we made our way home! LOL
i tell folks it tastes like what I imagine Pine-Sol tastes like, but i miss it and Chicago. Gimme that Chicago Handshake and we're all set
Chase that shot with an Old Style and a Portillo’s chocolate cake shake, then a Jardiniere pizza from Little Frank’s on Cicero. Boom, that’s the best of Chicago in one nite.
Malort: when you want to unfriend someone to their face
Är det som Bäska droppar?
My first taste of Malort came from a friend i met here in Oregon. I actually like it. he was very suprised. It tastes like horrible whiskey mixed with tons of different teas.
I like that you said that you liked it but describe it as tasting like horrible whiskey
@@zedc6072 I like that you obviously omitted parts of my statement so you could twist it to fit your narrative. you obvio1usly left out half of the information.
\ mixed with tons of different teas.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many people buy a second bottle?
all 4 of us
If I had the chance, I would gift them to family each year.
I’ve bought several.
Can't count how many I've bought tbh
I'm annoyed that I have to drive all the way up to Illinois (from Alabama) to get this at all. But I'm gonna do it, one of these days!
Mmm Malort.
I dont know what the hate on wormwood is all about- ive tried booze(vodka + herb) and tea of two varities(sweet annie and regular). 1- despite being in the same genus they taste nothing alike, 2 they are pretty damn good tasting if I do say so myself. Sweet annie ...is something in between angostura and centaury. Not exactly, but its kind of fruity. Plain wormwood has a stronk herbal note(and I do mean STRONK). Its more bitter, but also less high pitched, more of a strong but dull bitterness.
Out of all the bitter herbs Ive tried....one that I didnt quite like was artichoke leaves. For some reason its...oily.
Father in law said " I dare you to drink this".
I *will not* drink something someone dared me to drink.
Malort: the Chicago hatred condensed into liquid
Thumbnail says "Faces of Chicago"
But if we're talking about Malört, shouldn't it be "Feces of Chicago"?
Malort: Taste like a Worthers Original, thats already been in an old guys mouth
Malort: tonight's the night you fight your dad.
I luv malort!!! Chase with orange juice!😋I want some now!
I'm pretty sure that's just Summer's Eve in a liquor bottle
I've been watching reactions and I'm reminded of Moxie soda. It either grows on you or it's bad memories. Maybe both. I'm curious enough to order some.
Carly Rae Jepson's Malort
I loled
super curious about this. im from the Baltimore area too
Drive through downtown Baltimore with your mouth open, and that's what it tastes like
Never had it. I'm just here for the comments.
they should do a back to the future reboot where Michael j fox goes back in the DeLorean to assassinate Carl jepsen the minute his foot touches American soil.
Could this be used as a mixed drink? It obviously is unpleasant by itself.
I pour my Malort in to a big glass , not a shot or double shot glass , larger glass , and big sip it throughout the night , then one more before bed. 😅😊
Never heard of it, but my wife's cousin who lives near Chicago, says it tastes like drinking dirt.
The rubberband comment the guy made is pretty accurate to me. The aftertaste just lingers for so long and gets progressively worse. Amazing party favor haha
A lot of people don't know this, but God turned cat piss into Malort
It tastes like magnum 40 ounce beer mixed with bong water
I love how the woman at 1:27 knows how to do a shot better than her friend. Always tap that bar my friends....always tap that bar. Dude is going home alone tonight with those manners.
Yup
Today is a birthday prank my father gave me a shot of malort oh my God the worst drink I've ever had in my entire life I think after tonight I'm going to pass on the same practical joke to other people just to get their reaction definitely the kind of drink that if you don't want to drink drink this stuff I've had cough medicine that was better than this such a great prank to pull on friends and people that you don't like
Had a friend get married and one of my fellow groomsman brought this to the wedding and I actually took like 4 or 5 shots. I guess I just have poor taste
I tell people it's like cat piss, pine sol and gasoline
Seriously?
I LOVE MALORT! Its sweet delicious poison!!!!
You really don’t.
Dam that bartender needs a shower fast..
You can't try to look hard then wear a Sesame Street shirt. 🤣
Tastes like deep woods off and pencil shavings.
Taste like trump tweets
For one those are tiny glasses I was tricked into a double :'( also anyone that says they like this are either lying or a psychopath, tastes like stomach bile ,earwax, and badly made homemade whiskey
Tastes like burnt plastic and gasoline
Kick your tongue in the balls.
I actually rather like it. Have a shot before a meal and it really intensifies flavors.
Wormwood? It can’t be worse than serpis, then. That’s like absinthe without the anise.
Please get your hands on a bottle then. The aftertaste is wretched.
Stick to Old Style.
Idk why it has a gold plastic cap it makes it look so cheap like seagrams or takka 😥😂i guess its suppose to
I have never even heard of this shit. Sounds terrible.
I really like Malört. One of my friends thought he’d get me for my first time going to a bar after we got off of work around 10-11PM. He buys me a shot of Malört. He, the bartender and a few people around me were looking so hard at me. I take the shot, and their eyes light up waiting for my reaction. I pause, take in what I’m experiencing, and tell them, “Huh. This is interesting. I like it.”
Them: 😐😳🫨🤯🫣😵💫🤢🤮
