THE CHI-TOWN WORT
1 oz. (30 ml) Malort
1 oz. Spiced Rum
I know, I usually hate spiced rum, but it works well against the Malort
Kraken rum works particularly well with Malort, but this is just some I had laying around and I decided to try it because spiced rum must leave my house. It’s a brand I’ve never heard of called Shellback
1 oz. Cointreau
¾ oz. (22 ml) simple syrup
½ oz. (15 ml) lime juice
Several dashes of Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and shake with ice
Strain into a chilled coupe
Garnish with an orange slice
The evolution on the palate is wild and comes in distinct steps: Sweet, orange candy, citrus, cour, bitter, and then, vanilla? I think this works so well because Malort does have citrus overtones and the spiced rum seems to pull vanilla notes out of the Malort. It does have a very dry, bitter finish. But when I created this I was very surprised that it’s not only not bad, but I would submit it’s pretty good and quite interesting.
Listeners, if you try this tell us what you think. Do you know of any cocktails with Malort?
