When Nick Griffiths lost his big toe to frostbite in February last year, he gave it a second life — as a morbid cocktail. This June, the British man donated his detached digit to a bar in Canada, which has a decades-long tradition of serving a whiskey shot garnished with a dehydrated human toe.

去年2月,尼克·格里菲思(Nick Griffiths)因冻伤失去了他的大脚趾,他赋予了它新生——一种病态的鸡尾酒。今年6月,这名英国男子把自己的手指捐给了加拿大的一家酒吧,这家酒吧有几十年的传统,供应一种用脱水的人脚趾装饰的威士忌。

Next week, Griffiths will reunite with his severed appendage, taking the inaugural sip of his very own toe tipple.

下周,格里菲思将和他的断肢重聚,第一次喝他自己的脚趾酒。

用脚趾头调的鸡尾酒,你有兴趣吗?

The legendary $5 drink, called the Sourtoe Cocktail, has been served at Yukon’s Downtown Hotel since 1973. Drinkers must touch their lips to the toe to earn a certificate of completion. To date, more than 90,000 have.

传说中这款售价5美元的鸡尾酒名为Sourtoe鸡尾酒,自1973年以来一直在育空市中心的酒店供应。喝酒的人必须把嘴唇碰到脚趾才能获得结业证书。到目前为止,已经有超过9万人获得了证书。

The titular toe of the Sourtoe is so sought-after that it frequently gets stolen (and sometimes returned) — hence the bar’s need for Griffiths’ toe. He saw a “Toe Wanted” poster from the hotel shortly after losing his own to frostbite during the Yukon Arctic ultramarathon and mailed in the specimen.

Sourtoe的脚趾非常抢手,经常被偷(有时还会被退回),因此酒吧需要格里菲思的脚趾。他在育空地区的北极超级马拉松比赛中因冻伤失去了自己的脚趾,不久后,他在酒店看到了一张“脚趾通缉”的海报,就邮寄了这个样本。

Also over the moon about the fresh toe was Terry “Toe Master” Lee, who is in charge of preserving the toes used in the drink. He quickly got to work on Griffiths’ digit to make it garnish-ready.

同样受到追捧的还有“脚趾大师”特里·李,他负责保存饮料中使用的脚趾。他很快就把格里菲思的手指做成了装饰品。

The tourist board of the Canadian territory has footed the bill for Griffiths’ flight from Manchester, England, for the sake of his “toe ceremony,” which will take place at the Downtown Hotel on Monday.

格里菲思的“脚趾仪式”将于下周一在伦敦市中心的一家酒店举行,为了庆祝他的“脚趾仪式”,加拿大旅游局已经为他从英国曼彻斯特起飞的航班买单。
