Canada's Sourtoe Cocktail Keeps Its Mummified Toe Tradition Alive

Original: Canada's Bizarre Mummified Toe Cocktail

A Yukon hotel bar serves the famous Sourtoe Cocktail, a drink garnished with a real mummified human toe that drinkers must let touch their lips to earn membership in the Sourtoe Cocktail Club. The quirky Dawson City ritual, rooted in local gold-rush lore, draws tourists and curious travellers, and continues to spark amusement, disgust and fascination well beyond Canada.

Why now: A BBC Travel feature has renewed interest in the strange and macabre drinking tradition.
