DAWSON CITY, Yukon — A mummified human toe that is a part of a long-standing drink tradition has been returned after it was stolen from a hotel bar.

Hotel Manager Geri Colbourne served a couple Saturday night who asked for the special “sourtoe cocktail,” The Toronto Star reported. Colbourne was called away, and when she returned, the toe was gone.

Police told the publication that the suspect called them and said he mailed the toe back to the hotel. An apology note accompanied the toe, which is said to be in good condition. The man called the hotel and verbally apologized as well. No charges are expected.

Per tradition, drinkers must let the brown, shriveled toe touch their lips in order to join the exclusive Sourtoe Cocktail Club.
