Chicago Handshake

December 07, 2025

A Chicago Handshake is a drink combination (boilermaker) consisting of a shot of Jeppson's Malört and a can or bottle of Old Style beer. This pairing is considered a Chicago institution, often referred to as a "rite of passage" for newcomers due to Malört's famously bitter, wormwood-based flavor.

Malort uses the same process as vodka, but instead of using potatoes they use recycled tires.

Earwax and gasoline sipped through a straw placed in a possum carcass.

Malort is what happens when you load up a Keurig with original recipe Listerine, then crush a cigar into the K-Cup slot and let 'er rip.

It gets a lot better after you accept that's it's going to taste like a racetrack.

Malort: The Gary, Indiana of liquor.

It tastes like you'd imagine dead ladybugs would.

Malort: Tonight's the night you fight your dad.
