It tastes like gasoline, but it surprisingly has some value in cocktails. “The Alderman” cocktail bar in Pilsen does a fascinating “grapefruit” cocktail that doesn’t have grapefruit, but rather uses malort to replicate the grapefruit bitterness.

The Alderman’s cocktails are all amazing.
Had the best Gin and Tonic I’ve ever had there
