"textContent": "When we asked whether Jeppson’s Malört had gone mainstream in 2024, the answer was something like “almost, but not quite.” Part of Malört’s charm has always been its commitment to being difficult. The spirit, a wormwood-based digestif made by Chicago’s CH Distillery, is famous for its extremely bitter taste, and the classic Chicago handshake (a shot of Malört with an Old Style beer) remains the default delivery mechanism, a rite of passage that has launched a thousand grimacing faces and at least as many creative descriptions of its taste. Even its notorious bite has become something of a moving target.\n\nThe article Malört Was Made for the Shot. Bartenders Are Changing That. appeared first on VinePair.",
