Electrocuted by a whalecocktail!
Hackney hotspot Nightjar is famed for its speakeasy atmosphere and clever cocktails, but many are finding its Moby Dick drink a bit hard to swallow…because it's made of whisky infused with, er, whale skin. (Guess the name should have tipped us off.)
Following a complaint made in October, police visited the bar on December 3 and confiscated a bottle of whiskey containing a small strip of dried whale skin, on the grounds that EU law prohibits the hunting and trading of Free Willy et al.
“We did have a drink on this year's menu which included a small amount of scotch whisky infused with a single 2 x 5 cm strip of dried whale skin,” the bar says in a statement, adding that it was unaware of the EU regulations.
