The hotel has gained notoriety for its Sourtoe cocktail. The Sourtoe cocktail began during Prohibition with a case of frostbite. In the 1920s, two outlaw brothers, Louie and Otto, were caught in a blizzard. Louie soaked his foot, and when the brothers got back to their cabin, Louie's foot was frostbitten with his right toe becoming gangrenous.
The toe was preserved in alcohol and forgotten until its rediscovery by Captain Dick Stevenson in 1973 who devised a Sourtoe Cocktail Club whose members had imbibed a cocktail containing the toe. The toe was used in the 'Sourtoe cocktail' at the Downtown Hotel in Dawson City, Yukon. [93] At some point, the original toe was replaced.
