Malort

[BLachance75]

This popped into my Youtube feed yesterday. Apparently you can drink it without tasting Riot's sadness.

[Riot]

It tastes like an old gypsy curse.
You haven’t tasted my sadness yet- we call that a “War Crime” and it’s Moxie & Malort, a few tears for good measure and drink up!

I bet it would be really good w/ some honey.

[Jonnydread]

I LOVE Moxie!!!!

[binson]

YES! MOXIE!

Pump&Run would probably be interested in this

[Alexndl]

Pump&Run mentionned he search the history of Malort on wikipedia and found out the creator had probably dulled taste-buds because of smoking. So he would have made it a stronger tasting liqueur that is a little too much for some.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeppson%27s_Mal%C3%B6rt#:~:text=Jeppson's%20Mal%C3 %B6rt%20is%20named%20after,flavored%20type%20of%20 Swedish%20br%C3%A4nnvin.&text=Mal%C3%B6rt%20is%20k nown%20for%20its%20bitter%20taste.

Jeppson's Malört is named after Carl Jeppson, a Swedish immigrant who first distilled and popularized the liquor in Chicago. Malört (literally moth herb) is the Swedish word for wormwood, which is the key ingredient in a bäsk, a bitter-flavored type of Swedish brännvin.

In the 1930s Carl Jeppson, a Swedish immigrant to Chicago, began marketing his homemade brew. He sold it from door to door for medicinal and other purposes, and one legend says he preferred the strong taste because years of smoking had dulled his taste-buds.


If you want to try this fine tasting beverage, you can buy it on the official website.

I have dulled taste buds from smoking, and it's still bitter for minutes after

[$L!mBo]

oh cool, I love Carly Jepsen. "Call Me Maybe" lmao

[OpusX]

It is ineffable and a beast unto itself, also a must try.

[SuperAtomic]

I've never had the chance to try it, but I've heard people say it tastes like rubber bands.

[JeeperCreeper]

When the guy in the video said hairspray, that's when I figured out what exactly the after taste is like. It's definitely a unique experience

[Jackson]

Grapefruit and dirt. I actually like the taste.

[Ecapnation]

I actually want to try it but... New Yorker here.

*Edit.... found a few places on Long Island that sell it, just in time for SAD season!

[Melrosejedi]

I took half a shot and it tasted like a**, so i dropped the rest in my beer to dillute it and it ruined my beer. Like trying to get rid of toxic waste.

[Brandon]

Maybe Mixed with Monster ???

[Melrosejedi]

Three sheets to the wind wasted and it might be palatable,lol.

[Brandon]

ooff 😬this sent me down a rabbit hole of cocktails.

[ford]

My co-workers got me into this drink.

Honestly, I feel like it's fine to sip on with extra greasy burgers/fries type faire.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Tastes like Old gym sock smells mixed with grapefruit.

[Jordan]

See, these conversations make me happy I don't drink.

🙂

[Murph]

It tastes like the worst gin you've ever tasted with the aftertaste of rotten oranges. I have no need to drink it straight ever again, though I would try the war crime cocktail just to say I did.

[Five Oh]

I bring this stuff to every paintball game... much to the hatred of my teammates.
