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.

A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.

I hadn't actually. I saw one about mixing it with vodka to make "five loko" and from there....
You made chiloko instead
interesting, "malört" is perfect swedish for wormwood
It's a Swedish emigrant that started making it, I'm pretty sure from the descriptions of it that it's a bäsk
It is wormwood liqueur so that makes sense
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.
Fuck it, I'm down.
Something something the bean.
What is, flick?
🤣🤣🤣
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.
LoL that is fricking hilarious. Great terrible drink there
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.
A splash of topo and I’m in
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 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".
