Snake Juice

Would you like to drink whiskey, mineral water, or ginseng snake juice?We drove around and saw a nice seaside restaurant. We planned to have dinner there, but when we crossed the bridge over to the restaurant to book a table, what we saw in the water below us changed our minds.

Snake Juice Peter Kelly reponded to the post about rattlesnake vodka with this photograph he took in Vietnam. The caption reads These are artistically arranges snakes in bottles of liquor. People drink this. Really.

While I was on the boat travelling up the Yangzee River I was offered a very different type of drink. It was a drink that had been fermented with a poisonous snake inside. I was a little bit sketched but I wanted to try the drink so I offered to buy the captain of the boat and the bar hostess a cocktail of this venemous liquid. We all drank it together. It tasted like really strong vodka with a kick of something I had never experienced.
