Still Waters Posted September 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2014 The world's most expensive cocktail has gone on sale in London - costing the same as a new family car at nearly £9,000. The 'Gigi's' is aimed squarely at the fabulously rich of Mayfair, where property regularly fetches over £40million. It is made with a vintage champagne and an ultra-rare Armagnac brandy that pre-dates the Boer War. The result is described as 'liquid gold' and will set the drinker back £8,888. http://www.telegraph...early-9000.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-C Posted September 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2014 "1990 Vintage Cristal" made me chuckle for some reason I'm happy with my cranberry juice and Sprite topped with ice. Sets me back 50 cents. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikenator Posted September 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 27, 2014 the funny thing is it takes more than one mixed drink to get drunk so imagine how many you have to drink just to get drunk anything more than two and you're already spending a small fortune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient astronaut Posted September 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Talk about throwing money away! Even if I had that kind of cash, I would never ever drop that much coin on a drink.(I bet it tastes like **** anyway.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted September 28, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Those people are doing nothing but gloating on their wealth. It's an ego-trip. That cocktail probably tastes like crap... but that's not the issue... the issue is that they can afford it whilst other's can not. Blah, and BLAH. I'll stick with my own much lower-cost tasty cocktail or beer. I have no desire to(or attempt to) impress anyone with anything. EDIT: I guess that leaves me out of their crowd, but I seriously don't care. Edited September 28, 2014 by pallidin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted September 28, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 28, 2014 There are no cocktails with a value of £8,888. But there are idiots who pay £8,888 for a cocktail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNessy Posted October 4, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 4, 2014 These are the same people who pay their employee's minimum wage. Scream blue murder if a government increases minimum wage by 10c. Yet think nothing about blowing 9k. Go world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
