Malört is really popular here and I have no idea why. Some kind of hipster shibboleth.

    It’s cause Malört is fucking gross so people started drinking it ironically and came full circle.

    There’s a bar in Tennessee that specializes in Malört based mixed drinks. I tried some just to say I did and they were just OK.

    Malort broke Chicago containment? SMH

    Nashville doesn't have enough Scandis to have a tradition of medicinal bitters, which is what malort is based on. It's an invasive species there, like kudzu or Asian carp.

    This and Underberg. Most of my bartender friends love it and I’m still convinced they’re all fucking with me. I’d rather take a shot of Malört. But I’ll still join the round of Bergs for the camaraderie.
