Malört aims to set world record for largest-ever group taking shots of the spirit
Malört hopes to set the world record Sunday for the largest group of people taking a shot of Malört at the same time, the company announced.
The event, titled “Bad Decision for Good Cause,” is scheduled for 7:30 pm at Recess on 838 W. Kinzie St on Aug. 30 from 5-9 p.m. It will double as a charity fundraiser for Ravenswood Community Services, a Chicago nonprofit that provides food, housing, and supportive services for those in the city facing homelessness.
Tickets cost $12. The admission price includes that one shot of Malört needed to make that world record attempt. CH Distillery of Chicago, the makers of Jeppson’s Malört, said it will match every ticket purchase with a $10 donation to the nonprofit.
“Malört brings people together for the shared experience of a questionable choice,” Tremaine Atkinson, CEO of CH Distillery, said in a news release. “This event is the perfect way to gather and give back to a great cause while we’re at it. We’re going to attempt something patently ridiculous and do some serious good for Chicago in the process.”
Non-drinkers also are encouraged to purchase a $12 ticket to enjoy live entertainment, food and to watch the making of what Malört hopes will be a new world record.
Malort is poured into a shot glass on a balcony Friday in Rogers Park.
