An Illinois Brewery Really Made A Cicada-Infused Liqueur
Lobster-Like Flavor Sensation: Believe it or not, the 17-year old virgin cicadas bring a flavor reminiscent of succulent lobster to this insanely delicious concoction. It's a taste you won't find anywhere else, and it's only available once every 17 years!
I don't think it's possible to make Malört any worse so I can get behind this idea. Cicadas have a nutty flavor and according to the brewery, they bring a lobster-like flavor to the Malört.

Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish (they contain the same protein). But as the post notes, cicadas have a lot of protein and they're low in fat.

Drink the liqueur, but give the cucharacha at the bottom of the bottle a good leaving alone.
Malört in Swedish means ‘Wormwood’........
“Mal ört” in Norwegian means “Grind the herb”..............
Have you ever sampled Malört?
Malört has a cult following around Chicago.
Wormwood is also the ‘old time’ name of Absinthe.............

“Eat ze bugs!”
On purpose?
Is it crunchy?
Yes, a stunning similarity to my nephew.
Not certain about the size of the eyes?
"But as the post notes, cicadas have a lot of protein and they're low in fat. I just don't think I could get past the crunchy exoskeleton. Ew."
Never heard of the stuff, but it can’t be nastier than Jägermeister. Can it?
When I lived in west Texas we would tie sewing thread on these things and fly them around like an airplane
Fresh-squeezed cicada juice is way better than concentrate.
Should have a couple on a swizzle stick, like a non-vegan olive.
—” it can’t be nastier than Jägermeister. Can it?”
This is the new, worse version of Jägermeister.
From Wiki: “Known for its extremely bitter taste, Malört has been described as “infamous” and “the worst booze ever”.[5][6][7] It can be found in some Chicago-area bars and liquor stores, and is growing in popularity there[when?], but is hard to find elsewhere in the United States.... According to legend, Jeppson preferred the strong taste because years of smoking had dulled his taste-bud... John Hodgman said Jeppson’s Malört “tastes like pencil shavings and heartbreak... compared it to “taking a bite out of a grapefruit and then drinking a shot of gasoline”
