02 Nov 2012 Comments 0

1. Snake Wine

Snake wine is predominantly found in Asia and is typically produced by infusing entire snakes into rice wine. The alcohol is believed to have medicinal properties that improve everything from hair loss to sexual virility. This is on my not to try ever list.

2. Chocolate Donut Beer

This Chocolate Donut Stout is brewed in Alexandria, VA by the Shenandoah Brewing Company and is made with real chocolate along with a host of other, assumedly delicious, ingredients. This is definitely on my to try list.

3. Three Lizard Liquor

To make this reptilian beverage, lizards (three to be precise),typically of the gecko-variety, are left to soak in rice liquor. The traditional eastern medicine theory states that this allows the lizard's energy to be absorbed by the alcohol and thus transferred to who ever drinks it. Probably not so cool if you are the lizard. This is on my not to try list.

4. Pulque

This milky substance is made from the fermented sap of the Maguey plant. Pulque has been consumed since the time of the Aztecs, but fell into decline with the introduction of beer. I guess I would give this a try.

5. Pizza Beer

This culinary concoction was first devised by Tom and Athena Seefurth after they came across a surplus tomatoes and garlic. This is a no brainer. Will try this any time any where.

6. Scorpion Vodka

This single grain vodka is infused with nothing but the highest grade farm raised scorpions. What about the deadly venom you ask? Not to worry, the toxins are neutralized via a special process before being added to the vodka. The scorpions are edible too, if that's your thing. I remain undecided about this one.

7. Squirrel Beer

This is just super freaky. Billed by BrewDog as the "strongest, most expensive and most shocking beer in the world," this $765/bottle brew is 55 percent alcohol and comes encased in a taxidermic squirrel repurposed from roadkill. Will not be trying this like ever. Seriously people what freak came up with this idea?

8. Chili Beer

For those that desire a bit more bite to their brew, the Chili Beer is a premium lager that has a Serrano Chili Pepper dropped into every bottle. This seems pretty harmless to me. On my to try list.

9. Bacon Vodka

Bacon makes everything better fact.

10. Moonshine

Known as white lightning, tennessee white whiskey, or simply moonshine,this illicit liquor is still distilled in the backwoods of Appalachia where shiners evade the law and make their alcoholic concoctions by the light of the moon. I watched Deliverance and I will not be trying this.
