Hundreds of people will gather in Chicago to try setting an interesting world record Sunday, and even if you didn’t score a ticket, you can still participate.
The record is for the most people simultaneously taking shots of Malört, the notorious liqueur known for its extremely bitter taste. Viral videos consistently show drinkers making faces when tasting the beverage, and now Chicago-area residents will try to help set a new record around the drink.
The event has drawn a ton of interest, with tickets selling out quickly for the event earlier this year. Now, with the forecast for Sunday calling for pleasant conditions, 500 more tickets were released to the public, but they were snapped up in a matter of minutes, according to organizers.
If you still want to participate however, you shouldn’t fret.
The ‘Malört World Record’ attempt will go down on Sunday at Recess in Chicago, with hundreds of people gathering to participate in the event.
According to organizers, the event will raise funds for Ravenswood Community Services, which provides meals and groceries to those in need in the Uptown and Ravenswood neighborhoods in Chicago.
Those partaking in the event will, of course, get a mini-bottle of Malört to take the record-breaking shot at approximately 7:30 p.m., but there will be plenty of other events, including prize giveaways, live entertainment, and special celebrity appearances, according to organizers.
There will also be Malört-themed cocktails and food items according to organizers, giving fans of the beverage a chance to explore its world even further.
For those who don’t have tickets, there are still ways to participate.
One way is to view a livestream of the event, according to organizers. The stream will get underway at 5 p.m., and tickets for the stream are free, with the shot being taken at 7:30 p.m. on the dot.
