Malort

Chicago’s infamous liquor Malört is now a hard candy, and yes, people are actually buying it. Here’s what to know about “Malört Sucks.”

Ever since Kelly Clarkson did this on her show, I still think about how effortlessly she downed the Chicago Handshake like an absolute pro.

It’s time Illinois to cement Malort as the official liquor of the “Land of Lincoln”. The historically Chicago centered liquor has become a touchstone of windy city bars and has now expanded in all directions of Illinois and to most every state in the union.

It was just over 9 years ago when I had my first (and last) shot of the absolute worst booze I've ever tasted and now the Illinois-made liquor has a new Christmas flavor.

If you love trying every new pumpkin spice product that hits the market, I triple-dog-dare you to try this new fall flavor from Illinois original, Malort.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why people willingly partake in shots of Malort. If you know someone that does, send this their way.
