For anyone who doesn't know what that drink is, it is a relic of the times where alcohol was considered medicine and it expresses that with flavor. It tastes like antiseptic and Band-Aids. It is universally considered a terrible alcohol with no redeeming qualities except the joy of sadomasochistic introductions to the unfamiliar.

Malört, for when you want to unfriend someone in-person.

So.... Along the lines of Jager Meister, but worse?

Jäger does not have anywhere near the notoriety of bad flavor. People describe Jäger as tasting like licorice, Malört is described as tasting like if your shame and regret were fermented and filtered through a burning Chicago dumpster.

Malört, because you won't be getting your security deposit back.

Malört, tonight is the day you fight your dad.

Malört, the official drink of poor decisions.

Malört, the strongly-worded last call.

Malört, because "fuck you" is polite.

You order Jäger and everybody is like ok, do you. You order Malört and the staff ask if you are sure and follow that up with asking if you are ok.

There is a bar that has $5 shots, Malört is $2.

At the local Binny's(alcohol retailer), the manager initiates new hires with a shot of Malört.

Malört is something you need to experience, because I hate you.

As someone who dislikes licorice, it tastes like a very strong herbal drink to me
