OMG would you try Malort infused with a cicada?!
One brewery in suburban Chicago is going all in on the tasting craze, creating a "Cicada-Infused Malört."
"Prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime experience" Noon Whistle Brewing in Lombard posted on Instagram. "We're thrilled to unveil our exclusive locally harvested Cicada-Infused Malört at Lombard Brewpub!
According to the Instagram post, cicadas have a "lobster-like flavor sensation." Customers can also add their own cicada husks for "extra flavor."
"Want to take your shot of Cicada-infused Malört to he next level? Bring in your saved cicada husks and infuse your drink with even more of that unique flavor," the post goes on to say. "Its the ultimate personalized alcoholic cicada broth experience."
The post noted that eating cicadas is safe, nutritious and packed with protein, but advised customers with shellfish allergies to stay away.
I don't think I could do it. Lol. Would you?
