Some traditions in some towns can be some of the most interesting things in the world. But no other local tradition is quite as interesting and/or gross as the sourtoe cocktail. Hailing from a small northern Canadian town called Dawson City, this odd drink is both fascinating and completely creepy. It will surprise you that people actually storm the area to get involved.
According to local legend, the sourtoe cocktail was a creation of Yukon local Captain Dick Stevenson’s back in 1973.
The story goes that Stevenson found a preserved, dehydrated human toe while cleaning out an old cabin in the woods. For some reason, after discussing it with friends, Stevenson decided that it would be a good idea to serve people the toe with alcohol at the local saloon. And thus the sourtoe cocktail was born!
