$10,000 Martini
New York's historic Algonquin Hotel is offering a $10K Martini complete with a Diamond at the bottom. Nobody has ordered one yet but, who knows?

why would anybody want to buy one of those? I don't get it. maybe another hotel will offer a fake one... like with a rinestone instead of a diamond and make it $10 instead of 10,000.

I've had that. My brother and I shared a bottle. It's really sticky and a bit too sweet of a liquor for my tastes (it tastes like Big Red chewing gum + alcohol).

I didn't really pay attention but I doubt it. The amount of gold in the bottle only turns out to be about $2 worth. There are a hell of a lot of gold flakes but they're so thin.

No doubt necessary. Drink a bottle alone in one sitting. Dry out, then watch yer stool. Serious shiney bits in poo.

1. I don't think I could drink a whole bottle to myself. Not because of the alcohol , but because the sweet cinnamon + alcohol taste kind of gets to me after awhile.

2. Dry out?

3. Maybe I will try it sometime. Give me a few months before I feel like drinking the stuff again.

2. Dry out=no longer innebriated.

*Do not get drunk. It is immoral, and hazardous to your dating life. Stay away from rabid dogs and angry geese. Do not operate in a manner other than intended.

Personally, I think every martini is worth $10,000. That most restuarants offer it less than that is a sign of their generosity and grace. The Algonquin Hotel is also where the martini (or the manhattan) was invented, IIRC, so they can claim a bit of a pedigree on that drink.
