LOMBARD, Ill. — A suburban brewpub is offering a shot that won’t be available for another 17 years.
The Noon Whistle Pub, located at 800 East Roosevelt Road in Lombard, is serving up a cicada-infused Malört shots.
In a post shared Tuesday on Instagram, the brewpub said, “Prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime experience because starting today, we’re thrilled to unveil our exclusive locally harvested Cicada-Infused Malört at Lombard Brewpub!”
The brewpub is collecting the cicadas from a nearby park, cooking then, and then dropping them into bottles of the legendary Chicago liquor.
After the infusion is complete, bar patrons can volunteer to take a shot that’s 17 years in the making. The shot is selling for $5.
The bar is reminding those with shellfish allergies not to ingest.
