£35,000 Cocktail

The Movida nightclub in London has launched a new cocktail that will sell for £35,000. That’s roughly equivalent to $71,000 US dollars. They call this drink the Flawless, and it will be mixed and served under the supervision of security guards.

The cocktail consists 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. The drink is described as warming and refreshing, but that is not the main reason for the exorbitant cost: at the bottom of the crystal glass is an 11-carat white diamond ring.

The nightclub has already taken several orders. Link -via Fark

well edhead, you have to realize that people with that much money are just replacing those things that we "normal" people have come to appreciate with money.. they don't really know what true happiness is. apparently it's $70K drinks... all i have to say, is if i'm paying that much for a drink, it better
a) get me wasted, or
b) open a time-portal so i can go back in time and remind myself not to make the mistake of buying a $70k drink.

one of the great ironies in life is that the more money you have, the more you need to demonstrate it to yourself and those around you. but you generally have to be pathologically insecure to get that wealthy in the first place; most people with lots of money I've met are incredibly dysfunctional and neurotic, and really not worth knowing.
