James Bond would be practically unrecognizable without his shaken martini. The secret agent has probably ordered one in every corner of the globe, but he should try asking for some of these when he is next traveling.
Tokyo, Japan
The Ritz-Carlton is the epitome of class and the one in Tokyo is located in one of the city’s tallest buildings. If you pay a visit, order the Diamonds are Forever Martini. Made with Absolut Elyx vodka, lime juice, and a one-carat diamond, it will set you back $19,000.
Las Vegas, United States
You’re never short of bar options in Las Vegas, but XS Nightclub is where to head if you want a bit of bling. The Ono Cocktail features Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and Rémy Martin’s Louis XIII Black Pearl cognac, as well as a pair of gold cufflinks and an 18-karat gold necklace with a black pearl and diamond. All that for only $10,000.
London, England
The Tale Bar in Mayfair is home to the third most-expensive cocktail in the world. For $7,000 you can order a drink called Salvatore’s Legacy which has 1778 Clos de Griffier Vieux cognac, 1770 Kummel liqueur, Dubb Orange Curacao circa 1860, and two dashes of Angostura bitters circa the 1900s.
