The
Ritz Side Car in the Bar Hemingway at the Hotel Ritz, Paris |

Price

Ingredients:
1830 Ritz Reserve cognac
Cointreau
A drop of freshly squeezed lemon

|
|
|
This
drink is the holder of the Guinness World Record for the most
expensive cocktail, and features some of the oldest cognac in the
world. Made from grapes that were on vines well before the phylloxera
infestation of the 1860s devastated many of France's finest vineyards,
the 1830 Ritz Reserve cognac provides a taste of history and can be
found in only a handful of bottles. Over the past three years, the
Ritz has sold approximately 60 of these drinks, so they may not last
very long.

What
turns this cocktail from something tasty and blue into a drink that
could change your life (or at least your marital status) is its
sterling-silver pick crowned with a 14-karat gold accent ring. Actually,
it's not even so much the pick as what the pick is holding: a pair of
platinum-mounted diamond (0.8 carats) and sapphire (2.5 carats)
earrings.

Martini
on the Rock in the Blue Bar at the Algonquin Hotel, New York
Price Tag: $10,000

Ingredients:
Vodka
Dry vermouth
Olive
Enormous diamond

A
1.52-carat diamond will do wonders to enliven a regular martini. This
cocktail may be the only drink that must be ordered with 72 hours
notice, and its price will vary depending on the precise diamond
selected. The good news is that the first time the drink was served, the
assessed value of the diamond was actually a few thousand dollars higher
than the bar tab, so you might actually profit from ordering one
