midwestern suicide booth

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.

I see you also saw this meme

I hadn't actually. I saw one about mixing it with vodka to make "five loko" and from there....

HATEFISH@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y

interesting, "malört" is perfect swedish for wormwood

Daxtron2@startrek.website · 3 pts · 2y

It is wormwood liqueur so that makes sense

dufr@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

It's a Swedish emigrant that started making it, I'm pretty sure from the descriptions of it that it's a bäsk

neptune@dmv.social · 1 pts · 2y

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.

Lol i had no idea what Malort is when I see this post. After some googling, the title fits really really well.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 4 pts · 2y

LoL that is fricking hilarious. Great terrible drink there

RBWells@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

That name, OMG.

I can't even begin to imagine how this tastes. Maybe sake for the next round?

WetBeardHairs@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Remember highschool biology classes where they had jars of random dead animals? They get malort from the juice in those jars.

A splash of topo and I’m in

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.

FiskFisk33@startrek.website · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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.

21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com · 1 pts · 2y

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.

Copernican@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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.

Krauerking@lemy.lol · 2 pts · 2y

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.

neptune@dmv.social · 1 pts · 2y

I'm acquiring those tastes but a taste of malort and you definitely think "I don't want to acquire a taste for that".
