Although the Guinness World Records named the “Trader Vic’s Original Mai Tai” the most expensive cocktail in the world at £750 (€1110; $1425), we’ve found one that tops that completely.
They call it Flawless and at $71,011.50 a glass, it should be. The cocktail is exclusively available at the London nightclub, Movida and it’s officially the world’s most expensive Christmas cocktail according to the Daily Mail.
Why $71,011.50 for a glass you ask? The cocktails ingredients include a large measure of Louis XII cognac (about $1,500 a bottle), half a bottle of Cristal Rose champagne (about $700 a bottle), some brown sugar, angostura bitters (which can cost $100-$200 per bottle) and a few flakes of 24-carat edible gold leaf.
However, the real extravagance is an 11-carat white diamond ring – which can be found at the bottom of the every glass.
Don’t worry about getting jumped while drinking one. 2 security guards must oversee not only the pouring, mixing and serving of every glass of Flawless but they will also stand by watching over your table, until the last sip, to make sure that no one will bother you as you drink it.
No doubt this will be the engagement method of choice for some of London’s most affluent this season! Undeniably memorable, just hopefully not as the night your wife-to-be choked on a massive diamond. Hopefully the security guys are up to par on their Heimlich.
