Is Malört Really That Bad? We Try It!

Chicago has its share of inside jokes, but none maybe more painful than goading newcomers into taking a shot of Malört. Whether you actually like the bitter liquor or you just want to see your friends make a weird face, it’s become a Chicago rite of passage. Host Jacoby Cochran has never tried it…until today. Joining us in the taste test and a round of Malört trivia is lead producer Simone Alicea, marketing director Caroline Patton, and marketing coordinator Jermaine Thomas. Want to take a swim?
