There are some weird cocktail names out there but this one for sure takes that cake...
The NY Post says Londoner Nick Griffiths donated his severed toe to a bar in Canada after he lost it to frostbite last year. The bar has a longstanding tradition of serving a famous whiskey shot containing a dehydrated human toe.
The "Sourtoe Cocktail" was first invented in 1973. More than 90,000 visitors have touched the toe to their lips in order to earn a certificate. Griffiths donated his toe to the bar upon seeing a "Toe Wanted" sign after the bar's previous toe was stolen. Griffiths will take the inaugural sip of his own Sourtoe Cocktail this week.
Terry "Toe Master" Lee says, "It takes six weeks to mummify a new toe on rock salt before it's ready to serve. We have been waiting for Nick to be the first to do a shot with the new toe and make it extra special. Nick's big toe is a beauty."
