If you are in the habit of purchasing cocktails when you are out for an evening, you realize that they often come with a significant price tag. It’s not out of the ordinary to spend $10-$20 or even more for a single drink.
Then again, there are times when you may have to go above and beyond and purchase something that is more expensive. It’s typically a one-time thing, usually because you are celebrating and you want to do something special.
For that, you may want to set your sights on Japan and the world’s most expensive cocktail in existence.
Not only does it come with a diamond included, it comes with a price tag of $22,600 according to Travel + Leisure.
The only place you will find this particular drink served is at the Ritz Carlton in Tokyo. According to the menu, the drink is known as “Diamonds Are Forever” and it includes some Gray Goose vodka, lime, and the $16,000 diamond.
You will have to do a little work in order to get the diamond. It will be at the bottom of the glass, so be careful you don’t drink too quickly or you may end up waiting a few days to actually get the diamond in your hand.
You can find this drink at the bar in the Ritz Carlton, and prior to the pandemic, it was made right beside the table.
A live band would also perform the song “Diamonds Are Forever” while the drink was being prepared for you.
