You can join the world record attempt for the most people to take a shot of Malört at once

Have you ever wondered what the world record is for the most amount of people taking a shot of Malört at the same time? Me either, but we’re about to find out.

Jeppson’s Malört is attempting to set the world record at its “Bad Decisions for Good Cause” event at Recess (838 W. Kinzie St.) on Sunday, August 30. The event kicks off at 5pm before the official attempt at 7:30pm.

Malört will match $10 from every ticket sold to support Ravenswood Community Services, a nonprofit dedicated to providing food, housing and other supportive services to Chicagoans facing hunger and homelessness.

Tickets are on sale now for $10. Each ticket gets you one shot for the world record attempt, but even if you aren’t drinking, you can still get a ticket to witness what will probably be the world record for the most amount of people making a stank face at the same time. 

You can also purchase commemorative swag like a shot glass ($10), T-shirt ($30) or sticker ($5), which can be picked up at check-in.

Sure, there are about a million other things most people would do before drinking Malört, but this time, your actions will bring a positive outcome. The CEO of CH Distillery, Malört’s owner and producer, Tremaine Atkinson, puts it best: “We’re going to attempt something patently ridiculous and do some serious good for Chicago in the process.”
