Suggestions I'm seeing online say to prepare at least part of the drink the day before, then freeze it and remove the olive oil solids.

The discussion about Malort reminded me of this tweet that I saw about a hundred times on various social media last month.
asked the bartender if they had fernet and he said “no but we have something else that sucks.” it was Malort and I loved it.— samm severin (@waitressboner) June 8, 2021

There was this Ukrainian guy in my MBA cohort, and someone brought a bottle of Malort to our graduation party, and the dude LOVED it. Damn near killed the bottle by himself.
But seriously, it tastes like earwax and lime rinds.

Yeah. That's a technique called fat washing. We did a duck fat washed bourbon in a cocktail at the hotel.
kphoger:
The gin I purchased most recently is this one, because the liquor store was out of the one I was intending to buy. It's quite unlike my usual picks, especially because it has a bit of a musty flavor to it. The reviewer from whose site I grabbed the image describes it as being like 'the aroma of damp maple leaves after a summer rain', and I can definitely see where he's coming from.
It's been a struggle to find a drink it works well in. My usual citrus-forward drinks don't play nicely with the musty character of this gin. But it worked pretty well in Negroni (which, by the way, Chris, is indeed better with a more normal vermouth than Punt e Mes). And where I found it actually shines is in a martini, which surprised me for some reason. The other day, I tried a second go-around with it in a gin and tonic, but this time I muddled some cucumber in the gin for a while and added several dashes of Peychaud's bitters, and it was better with those slight changes.
I probably won't buy it again, but it has been an interesting deviation from my usual.
