Today we’re covering Chicago’s favorite spirit, Malört! Taking a shot of Malört is a Chicago rite of passage, and people love to hate it. With an aggressively bitter flavor, mixing with Malört is a fun challenge. I’ll share my original Malört drink recipe that I call the Forced Retirement. It’s bright, fruity, and of course, bitter. Cheers!
