The Most Expensive Drinks in the World
We’ve all heard this conversation before:
OMG $14 for a drink, that’s crazy, like you could buy a whole bottle of vodka for what 2 drinks cost!
Yes, yes you can, and that’s appropriate for a house party, or an alcoholic homeless person, but when you’re at a nightclub, lounge or restaurant in any major city from Tokyo, to London, and NYC to LA, you pay up, because let’s face it, your friend and his iPod don’t stack up to the big time entertainment clubs are pumping through their doors every week.
BUT, if you think your tab is expensive when you hit the clubs, check out some of these ridiculous prices for some of the most expensive drinks and bottles in the World and get ready to max out your credit cards.
CHAMPAGNE
Armand de Brignac Midas
$194,275
The “Ace of Spades” as it’s called is a 30-liter bottle (that’s equal to 40 regular sized bottles) of Armad de Brignac Midas, which doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like Moet (pronounced “mow-ette” not “mow-eh”), or Veuve, but for that price nobody’s judging. Weighing in at 99 pounds (probably the weight of your cocktail waitress) this bottle’s going to need some muscle to get to your table.
VODKA
Diva Vodka
$1 Million
Blinged out in Swarovski crystals that run through the middle of the bottle, and can be used as a garnish for the drink, push this Scotland-based Vodka to the Million-dollar mark! Plus, this alcohol wasn’t made in a prison toilet. It’s ice filtered and then it is passed through Nordic birch charcoal then filtered through sand that contains precious and semi-precious gems.
RUM
Legacy by Angostura
$25,000
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Or some major credit card debt.
From the same company that brought you ‘Angostura Bitters’, which you may only know as some nasty sh*t your great grandmother may have given you to settle your stomach, now lay claim to the ‘Most Expensive Bottle of Rum in the World’. The bottle is housed in an Asprey crystal decanter with a sculpted silver stopper, created and designed by the jewelers to Prince Charles and limited to a minuscule 20 bottles worldwide (a mere three in the U.S).
TEQUILA
Tequila Ley
$3.5 Million
When you hear about an astounding 6,400 diamonds, weighing in at 415 carats, set into an 8-pound pure platinum setting, you’d probably think some really rich and famous guy just proposed to a really large woman with huge hands, but in this case, it’s the actual bottle this ridiculous tequila comes in. And here we thought Gran Patrón Burdeos, at just $649, and Don Julio Real at $350 was a treat!
BEER
Vieille Bon Secours Ale
$1,000
For this brew, you’ll have to take a trip across the pond. The 12-liter bottle can only be purchased at a bar in London called Bierdrome. This beer has been described as having a complex taste with citric, caramel and toffee flavors with an undertone of licorice and aniseed. It should at least come with an engraved beer koozie for that price.
COCKTAIL
Flawless
$55,000
The world’s priciest drink, launched in London in 2007 at Modiva nightclub- It consisted of a large measure of Louis XII cognac, half a bottle of Cristal Rose champagne, some brown sugar, angostura bitters and a few flakes of 24-carat edible gold leaf. Oh and an 11-carat white diamond ring.
Stars spotted at the club have included Prince and Beyoncé. Partygoers who ordered the drink were rewarded with a floorshow, with the drink mixed in front of them, and two security guards.
Some other pricey cocktails you can go in search of are the ‘Diamond is Forever Martini’ (Ritz Carlton, Tokyo- $22,600), ‘The Proposal’ (The Purple Bar, Sanderson, London- $5,293), ‘The Ono Champagne Cocktail’ (XS, Encore Wynn, Las Vegas- $10,000), ‘Martini on the Rock’ (The Blue Bar, Algonquin Hotel, NYC- $10,000), and one more diamond laced cocktail for $50,000 (Reka Restaurant, Moscow).
