ABOUT
I found this cocktail on Frederic Yarm’s page and had to reshake it. He found it via Reddit, where a user described it as a riff on the Industry Sour, Chicago style. Malört is a brutally bitter Chicago classic (Swedish-style wormwood liqueur), an industry hazing ritual, and a badge of honor for the bold. Cheers y’all!
