Malört
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Ribs, wings, burgers, beer, Malört…. It’s a helluva time. We kill a keg in no time.
- I feel like Malört had real potential as a modifier in cocktails. It's ridiculously bitter, but that's just something you have to be willing to work with.
- I'll never not upvote malört. Cheers!
- I had the opposite experience, thinking it was going to be rancid and disgusting and being pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I got a lot of grapefruit, menthol, eucalyptus, with a little wormwood the first time I tried.
- So I bought a bottle, tasted it, and thoroughly enjoyed it! I decided I had to make a cocktail with it, and it turned out as amazing as I had hoped.
Cons
- I've always found it very unifying - everyone hates it.
- Parent context: Malort tastes like you’re licking an ashtray but instead of cigarettes someone was smoking dog turds. It’s fucking disgusting.🤮 Reply: The descriptions people give of tasting malört are always so extreme yet extremely di...
- Malort tastes like you’re licking an ashtray but instead of cigarettes someone was smoking dog turds. It’s fucking disgusting.🤮
