Wife went to China a few years ago... She told me that in the South they offer Snakeshead Wine in the restaurants; i.e., a bottle of white wine with a real snake’s head in it. Nobody in her group ever had the guts to try it. Can’t say I blame ‘em.

A snake only taste like chicken if he has a fresh killed one in his gullet. Otherwise, snake taste like snake unless you put ketchup on it.
Then, I've been told here on FR...
it taste like John eFing Kerry's old lady.

I thought you always downed the vodka
after the rattlesnake bit you.
I mean, that's way we did it in all our rattlesnake huntin expeditions. After you apply the vodka detox for a few small rattler hits, a big ‘ol six footer can nail you and it dont faze you hardly at all ;)

Habusaki in Okinawa. I had some kind of snake whiskey in China that kicked my butt too. I recall seeing that stuff in the tourist shops meant for us American service personnel, but I never imagined someone would actually drink it!

Hebishochu. I’ve had some, and it’s OK. I asked the guy at the local bar how to make it: Catch one small poisonous snake (either mamushi or habu, both are pit vipers), and put it in a bucket of water, so that it has to swim all of the time. Change the water everyday. If the water remains cloudy after keeping it for a month, continue to change the water for another two weeks. If still cloudy, throw the snake away and start over. After 30 days, fill up to the top a wide-mouth jar with shochu (white liquor made from various things, such as sugar cane, sweet potato, barley, etc, depending where you are), drop in the snake, and screw the lid on. If the snake stops moving in a very short time, it’s OK. If it lasts for more than just a few minutes, you’ve got to start all over. Apparently, if it struggles, there’s a chance it will release too much toxin into the shochu. Let sit for at least week (in a cooler is best), and then put in your prettiest bottle. Then, whenever you’re feeling particularly down, give yourself a small tot. I’m sure that the $7/small shot he charged cheered him up, too.

Infusing alcohol with snakes or scorpions is believed to possess aphrodisiac properties.... Of drunks and aphrodisiacs....

Wow...
That gives a new definition to the phrase, "That stuff's really got some bite"
I take my vodka chilled and mixed with orange juice, hold the reptiles please...
Does the alcohol kill any venom that might be left in the snake... I don't know man, don't think I'd want to risk the following happening...

That was the word I was trying to remember! Never tried it myself, actually. Never tried fugu, either. Call me a coward but there’s that little death thingy...

Yep, looks like 1/2 pints to me.... Novelity sale item I’d guess to take home and display. Or at least that would be the extent of it for me.

Yeah. He should have put a novelty, not for consumption sticker on it. A man finds a creative way to make a living and get rid of snakes and look what happens. Why don’t they just leave us alone?

Wow, that’s a great improvement over the traditional worm in the bottle of Mexican tequila. People have fought over getting the eat the 100% proof worm at the bottem of the tequila bottle and a little vodka-soaked rattlesnake would be even better if you’re into that sort of thing.
