Sourtoe Cocktail-Dawson City, Yukon







It's a real human toe-severed by a prospector because it was so badly frostbitten. He preserved it in a jar and....
This gruesome affair started when a bragging sea captain -new to the area- was set up by the local river captains. They told him that you aren't a real Riverboat Captain until you drink sourtoe cocktail. He did it and that's how it all began.
You get a shot of Yukon Jack and then take it to the corner of the Saloon-Captain Dick reads the rules: the toe must touch your lips; no chewing biting or swallowing of the toe-if you do you must replace it with one of yours. He then places the real toe in your shot of whiskey and the rest is up to you. What kind of fool would do a dumb thing like this?
