Canada's Bizarre Mummified Toe Cocktail

A BBC Travel feature highlights the Sourtoe Cocktail, a Yukon drinking tradition in which a real mummified human toe is dropped into a glass of whiskey. Patrons at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City must let the toe touch their lips to earn a certificate, and a fine awaits anyone who swallows it. The eccentric ritual, dating back to the 1970s, draws curious travelers from around the world.

Why now: The unusual, macabre nature of drinking a cocktail garnished with a real mummified human toe makes it endlessly shareable.
