Malort cocktails are popping up in Chicago — try them for National Cocktail Day at Mother's Ruin, Osito's Tap, The Wieners Circle and more.
Whitney Dutton makes the Tassels and Assels cocktail at Mother's Ruin cocktail bar on March 23 in Avondale.Despite your protests, I know there are others out there like me: those who have repeatedly held back sighs as folks use evermore noxious comparisons to our city’s most infamous Swedish liqueur — burnt tire rubber, the Champagne of pain and worse. Some of us truthfully don’t mind all that much when taunted with the most bitter of shots, in all its chartreuse-hued glory.
The novelty tipple’s star began to rise over the past five years, with early adopters like Tied House in Lakeview and Maria’s Bar in Bridgeport still tinkering with the city’s signature shot to this day. Malört has been incorporated into negronis, boozy slushies and Old-Fashioneds, and you’ll find it plays well with a wider range of base spirits than you’d expect.
Not convinced? Head out to one of these Chicagoland spots for some field research — and if you need another excuse, Friday is National Cocktail Day. Cheers.: a Chicago Handshake, featuring a short of Malört and a can of Old Style. This North Side restaurant tames the no-frills greeting with the Lakeview Handshake, which softens bitterness with Campari, buoys with grapefruit and peach rhubarb bitters, and seals the deal with a 5-ounce sidecar of lager.
