If you like Malört, this new Chicago amaro is for you

There's an audacious new Chicago drink on the market that could give Malört a run for its money.

The drink: Fernet Fungo ($31.99), a collaboration between Edgewater's Co-Op Sauce and 18th Street Distillery, the first Black-owned distillery in Indiana.

• It uses fresh shiitake mushrooms, citrus and 15 herbs and spices to create an incredibly bold-flavored amaro.

The intrigue: Malört tastes like a refreshing sipper next to this thick, umami-packed shiitake elixir.

The verdict: Beware, this amaro is impossible to drink straight without grimacing.

• Instead mix it into a tart fizzy cocktail, or treat it like the rye in a rye and soda.

What we're watching: Will #FernetFungoFace overtake #MalortFace as the next big social media sensation?
