Sourtoe Cocktail - Block Print

I recently discovered this bizarre cocktail and just knew I had to make a print. The Sourtoe Cocktail was invented in 1973 when Captain Dick Stevenson was cleaning out an old cabin and discovered a severed toe in a mason jar filled with moonshine. Legend has it the toe belonged to a rum runner in the 20's who lost his toe to frostbite. Since then, Captan Dick has been dropping the toe into shots of any 80 proof spirit of your choosing at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City, Canada. The saying goes, “You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow—but the lips have gotta touch the toe.”
