Cocktail Mixology is reaching ultimate heights as the new worlds elite turn to cocktails rather than outrageously priced bottles of Champagne or a limited edition Scotch. According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the worlds most expensive cocktail is sold at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast. Not exactly the place one would think of for a Mai Tai, but with a price tag of $1,400 this is one LUXURIOUS Mai Tai! Apparently the secret lies in the 17-year-old J. Wray Nephew rum from Jamaica, which is locked in the hotel safe at night and is the only one out of six bottles in existence available to the public. London is not to be left out, but not quite as extravagant with a $100 Truffle Martini at Rocco Forte’s Brown’s Hotel, complete with black truffles soaked in premium vodka for 48 hours. Now prior to the Mai Tai claiming the title of the worlds priciest drink the Ritz Sidecar held the title with its 1865 Ritz Reserve cognac, exclusively served at the Hotel Ritz in Paris of course! However if you really want to ‘Rock’ her socks off the ultimate glamour drink has to be the Algonquin Hotel’s “Martini-On-The-Rock.” The ‘Rock’ part is a 1.52-carat diamond in the ring setting of your choice. At $10,000 a pop, just make sure she doesn’t swallow it.
