Amplify your dining experience by trying out these unorthodox (and oddly expensive) choices! Take for example, the Anty Gin. This drink is the first to be made using distilled wood ants. Yes, you read that right, ants. The Anty Gin is a collaboration by Nordic Food Lab and The Cambridge Distillery. Each bottle contains the essences of sixty-two ants. Insane, right?

Ants create formic acid. The wood ant makes quite a bit of it. Kind of like drinking formaldehyde, but irritates the stomach more.
