The Ritz
Side Car
in the Bar Hemingway at the Hotel Ritz, Paris
Price Tag: $515
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.

Sapphire Martini in the Mezz at Foxwoods Resort Casino, Connecticut
Price Tag: $3,000
Ingredients:
Bombay Sapphire gin (or the patron's choice of premium vodka)
Blue curaçao
A dash of dry vermouth
Blue sugar (for the rim of the glass)
Platinum-mounted diamond and sapphire earrings
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.

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
