Americans can turn literally anything into an alcoholic beverage. Here’s proof: The hot new drink for summer is a shot with a dead CICADA in it.
A place in Chicago called Noon Whistle Brewing is serving cicada-infused shots of Chicago’s famous “malört” . . . a wormwood liqueur that’s been compared to “citrus-flavored gasoline.” That’s BEFORE you add the cicada.
They dump a bunch of dead cicadas in the bottle, so they’re infused with all that malörty goodness. Then they pour you a shot and toss a cicada in the glass.
They claim the natural flavor of the cicadas adds a lot . . . and that it’s “reminiscent of succulent lobster.”
EW!!!
