expensive cocktail menu

so in true celebratory spirit (hey, i'm preparing for the sixth, that's all) i was just stumbling around to see what drinks would be perfect for a celebratory meal.

and, i came across the classiest drinks one could think of (all prices listed in USD)

Truffle martini
Price Tag: $100
At Rocco Forte's Browns Hotel in London, England, you can enjoy a Truffle Martini. This drink contains Martini, chocolate liqueur and a truffle soaked for 48 hours in premium vodka.

think that's expensive? there's more..

Ritz Sidecar
Price tag: $515
The Bar Hemingway in the Paris Ritz offers the Ritz Sidecar. It is mixed using Cointreau, cognac and lemon juice. It uses very rare 1830 Ritz Reserve Cognac (hence the damn ex price). In three years, sixty customers have willingly paid $515 to taste this unique cocktail.

i was never a big fan of martini but this i won't mind..

High Roller MartiniPrice tag: $1k
Ok, so approximately half goes to some anti-hunger charity, so it isn't ALL that bad.. This cocktail comes from a luxury chain of 27 high class restaurants- each with its own unique martini name. This High Roller Martini shares its name with the famous Vegas Strip and comes complete with a diamond ring.

but even that isn't even close to what drinks money CAN buy..

Mai Tai
Price Tag: $1,400
this lil' drink doens't look like much but it holds the record for most expensive cocktail in the bar at the Merchant Hotel, in Dublin, Ireland. Apparently it's the vintage rum used to make this extravagant cocktail that makes it so special. This J. Wray Nephew, 17 year old rum is the same spirit that was used to create the first Mai Tai in 1944. There are said to be only six bottles of this Jamaican Rum in the world and the bottle at the Merchant Hotel is kept in the safe at night.

and then there's..

Diamond Cocktail

Price tag: (starting) $4,350
This cocktail is made from Charles Heidsieck Vintage 2001 champagne and Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac, and includes Angostura bitters and a sugar cube. The final price tag here is determined by the piece of jewelery that you would like to have presented in the drink. $4,350 will buy you a 0.6 carat diamond, but that price could go up to $19,000 if you are interested in something a little "pricier". Available at Piano Bar at the Sheraton Park Tower Hotel, London.

and the cream on the cake..

Martini on the Rock
Price tag: $10k (that can freaking pay for my semester already O_o)
Maybe you would just prefer something a bit more elegant? This Martini on the Rock is a classy little cocktail and it goes for the special price of $10,000. The only "rock" here is a 1.5 carat diamond from the hotel jeweler at the Algonquin Hotel, New York. This special concoction is said to be a real thirst quencher for the ladies.

actually, i'm sure it is a thirst quencher. one look at the diamond.. thirst automatically quenched.
lol

anyway, gotta get back to my books.. three more papers to go..
may the force be with celebratory drinks..
cheers~
