This is more of a "local lore relic," but there's a Yukon bar called the Sourdough Saloon that serves a shot containing the preserved toe of a locally infamous 1920s-era bootlegger (allegedly). There's one rule: "You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips must touch the toe"
Would You Drink This Mummified-Toe Cocktail?
The notorious "Sourtoe Cocktail" — a shot of alcohol containing a dehydrated human toe — is a bizarre tradition at the Downtown Hotel's Sourdough Saloon, in Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

Part of the saint or their blood would be best, as I would like to compare it to an instance in which relic bones were consumed for healing - really, I want to know if it has happened before
