- There's no other way to say it: Jeppson's Malort is terrible! But that doesn't mean you can't use it in some delicious cocktails. In this video I try Malort for the first time, talk a little bit about its history, and demo 3 Malort cocktails. 2 of them are from bartenders in Chicago, 1 is a riff of my own based on another famous Chicago cocktail. Thanks for watching!

I found out recently that you can get Malort at your local liquor store in Omaha, NE. I asked the owner if they sold a lot of bottles of it, and he said "Mostly as gag gifts". I told him about a tweet I saw recently that said "It's only Malort if it comes from the Malort region of Chicago. Otherwise, it's sparkling gasoline"
HA! That's actually a really great description of it! Did you snag a bottle? Thoughts?
I really like Malort in cocktails. I cooked this up a few weeks ago: 1.5 Malort, 1 Cherry Liqueur, 1 Liqueur 43, 0.5 Maraschino Liqueur, 1.5 Lime Juice (try Lemon also). I'll have to try your Malort Axe soon!
That sounds really good! Balance out the strong flavors of the Malort with some of the equally potent flavors. Thanks for checking out the video! LMK if you try the Axe!
I love Malort, I am one of the three people that can drink it straight and enjoy it. It was introduced to me as a prank, and I loved it. ( I also drink my coffee black no sugar)
Whoa! Drinking Malort straight is next level! Do you drink it on the rocks or neat? I actually wonder if I might like it any better if I tried it again since I've gotten more into amaro and other bitter liqueurs. Could be worth doing a follow-up video maybe! Thanks for the comment Kara! Hope you have a great holiday season!
I’m with you - I can drink it straight and it’s become like my version of a Stupid Human Pet Trick because people refuse to believe I actually don’t hate it. I’m looking forward to trying it in a cocktail though…if I can sneak it in when someone is least expecting it… 😈
I am Swedish and i produce my own Malört liquor.
My stuff are green though and tastes more like licorice.
Wow, that's really cool! How do you produce the Malort? Do you have your own still or infuse a neutral spirit with botanicals?
Finally got to watch this I love your last drink in there it looked delicious
Thanks Gnome! You gotta let me know if you like it when you give it a try. You are the Malort Whisperer!
@@ThroughTheMixingGlass my parents are so proud
I make Moscow Mules with Malort in the copper cups. I call it a Chicago Donkey Punch.
Haha! That name sounds very appropriate
The is also the Bitter End Cocktail
3oz/90ml Malört
3oz/90ml grapefruit juice
Blend/shake the above and pour over ice in a large tumbler.
Pour in 12oz of grapefruit Radler.
Enjoy.
Malort to me is similar to aperitifs like Campari, but without any sweet notes. and the most infamous part of Malort is the aftertaste. Unlike others, the Malort taste just lingers in your mouth for minutes and doesnt want to go away. But in limited amounts I dont mind it too much.
That's a good observation! The bitter aftertaste just lasts sooooooooo long
I'm going to try it in a negroni.
I’m from the Chicago suburbs and Malort is a pretty common addition to evening. Go for PBR and a Malort shot (aka The Chicago Two-Step). My group of friends will also usually order a round of Malort when somebody gets up from the bar for the bathroom. Nothing like coming back to find a nice tall Malort waiting.
That's an amazingly evil prank...love it! I would've thought the two step would be with Old Style!
For sure Old Style is the first choice for the two-step, but we still have a few local places that have PBR on tap. As in, every day since the 60s so we usually go that route. A fun twist on the Malort surprise is do it to somebody after you’ve conditioned them by doing the same thing with Jameson. Pull the Jameson shots trick two or three times over a couple of weeks, and then substitute with Malort. First they get to experience the existential dread of a Jameson shot, but it’s followed by….
Yes, I’ve done that. Believe me, they cannot tell the difference visually or by smell in a dark bar. For some reason, people still go to bars with me.
@@jkoller Hahaha wow, that's downright devious. The look on their faces when they realize they just drank Malort instead of Jameson must be priceless. Truly well played!
I've never tried Malort, but I want to. the Malort Axe sounds dope, I might mail order some malort just to experience it. Good vid.
Thanks man! It's worth trying if you can find it. Unlike anything else I've ever had.
I keep a bottle in my golf bag as a punishment shot for the first time someone doesn't make it past the tees. I usually have one too just for fun.
Ha! Golfing with you would either be torture or awesome...
How dare you sully Malort by mixing it! For real it's so good. Tastes like grapefruit pith. I'm curious how you like your coffee. Most folks I know that like malort (there are three of us!) also like strong dark black coffee. Anyway loved the video even though you didn't like the "Sweetest Swedish Liqueur".
Hahaha! I drink my coffee black, no sugar! I do normally like bitter stuff, this was next level for me. Thanks for checking the video out! Give my regards to other 2 Malort lovers out there!
I've been really curious about this for a long time! It has such a notorious reputation and a lot of people hate it, but I happen to love strong flavors that some people do not like such as absinthe, bitter liqueurs like fernet, and briney scotches. I also love strong black coffee. Def need to hunt down a bottle.
@@barstoolbanter7212 It's more bitter than all of those. I think it's even more bitter than Baurilo.
Had it for the first time tonight. Friends telling me it has a grapefruit aftertaste. It is terrible for shots in my opinion. Need to try a mixed drink now.
I agree it's terrible for shots. The grapefruit makes sense to me too. In the second drink in this video where I squeezed a grapefruit peel over top, it tasted very very strongly of grapefruit. Much more than I would've expected for just squeezing a peel over the top. Definitely better in a drink than by itself! 🥂
@@ThroughTheMixingGlass It's not the peel at all. I made the cocktail without the peel, and it tasted exactly like grapefruit
This video made me laugh wayyyyy too much! But good to know about never drinking Malort!
Haha thanks! It might be worth trying once if you ever get the chance!
You have to try malort in order to get the permission to say never drink malort
First!!!!
WHOA!
Had it. By no means is it 'good' but I didn't find myself dying either. You want that you shoot everclear. Yikes.
Malort is for when you want to drink yourself out of a depression
I need a true Chicago Malort experience
@@ThroughTheMixingGlass born and raised lol but since relocated but I still have family send me a bottle to keep in the fridge
