"If you come to Chicago, every Chicagoan knows you got to have a shot of Malört. This is a liqueur that Chicagoans take - I'm not saying it's the best-tasting liqueur, I'm just saying that it's the one that if you want to prove your mettle, you got to have a shot."
"Whoo! That has an aftereffect." This leaves an uneasy feeling for Chicagoans. There might be a portion happy to see naive politicians and journalists suffer while trying to stomach that first shock shot.
"Watching Pritzker's segment, recorded in the lobby of the Hotel Zachary - with the Wrigley Field's famous marquee in the background - it's not hard to wonder if Malört is beginning to jump the shark. This used to be a working-class drink, one that survived tough times over nine decades."
