Ah, Malört, the Midwestern liqueur everybody loves to hate. And if you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it just did: a brewpub in Chicago suburb Lombard is now serving up cicada-infused shots of the stuff.
2024 marks one of the rare years when 17-year-old and 13-year-old cicada broods emerge from U.S. soil simultaneously. With the swarm in full swing, Noon Whistle Brewing decided to freeze, sterilize, and cook locally-sourced cicadas before submerging them in bottles of Malört, according to Timeout.
