Malort, for many the word alone brings a shiver through the spine or warm nostalgia for a cold night in a Chicago tavern. This gulp of bitterness harkens back to its Swedish roots of vodka and wormwood and has been described as just about the worst tasting liqueur on the bar room shelf. Like kale and Brussels sprouts, Malort has been around for decades, it's just recently that a whole new generation of Chicagoans and now Americans across the country have embraced it. Sales are booming. On this episode of Supper with Sylvia, Josh Noel, author and former Chicago Tribune travel and food writer, takes us on the journey of Malort and why this shot with notes of bitterness, loneliness, grapefruit and dirty rubber bands is all the rage.
