I couldn’t resist reposting this celebration of Chicago’s bitter bastard of the spirit world, Malört. Jeppson’s Malört tweeted this postcard identifying the preference of two-fisted drinkers among the icons of Chicago. While lovely new varieties are hitting the market, the “1 in 49’s” await the return of an even more bitter recipe from Jeppson’s.
