There are some crazy names for cocktails out there; Sex with an Alligator, Duck Fart and Gorilla Milk to name a few. So when you see the Sourtoe Cocktail written on the menu you would just assume it was simply another delicious cocktail under a gross title, right?
You couldn’t be more wrong.
It is in fact a tradition in Dawson City, Canada, to drink a shot of whiskey that has a severed human toe floating inside of it. This is no innocent Jagerbomb my friends. If the toe touches your lips but you do not swallow it, you are awarded with a certificate (with the possibility that you will also be mentally scarred for life). On the other hand, if you are unfortunate enough to swallow the toe, not only will you have done just that-swallowed somebody’s toe, BUT you will also face a $500 fine!
That is exactly what happened to a customer at the Downtown hotel last Saturday night. What was even more disturbing was that this particular man ate the crusty, mummified toe on purpose, paid the barman straight up and walked away. We all have different tastes, but seriously?
And to answer the question I am sure you are all dying to have answered, the toes are acquired through donations from those who have lost toes in accidents. So if you’re feeling generous and have any free toes lying about, the Downtown hotel is in desperate need of one.
