World`s most expensive drink topped with a 4-carat Ruby marks White Barn Inn`s 40th anniversary
Baku, May 4 (AZƏRTAC). A new absurd idea with an insane new price tag, just another day in the luxurious life. The White Barn inn in Kennebunk, Maine completes 40-years and celebrates their anniversary by creating a new drink, the ruby red cocktail. The mix contains Hangar one vodka, St. Germain elderflower liqueur, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, pomegranate, rosewater, and a 4-carat ruby. Yes, you read it right the drink will contain a real ruby and is priced at $40,000. So all those tired of diamonds can come clink to some ruby celebrating the Inn`s 40 years!
The late Laurence J. “Laurie” Bongiorno founded this infamous inn and would refer to it, as a precious gem so as the inn marks its 4 decades of bliss the ruby was chosen. A New York Jeweler is ruby shopping for the cocktail stone. The stone is said to arrive one at a time in Kennebunk in about a month. Maître d`hôtel Matthew Swinford think they will be able to sell two of the drinks a feat we hope they accomplish.
Given the White Barn inn guest list include wealthy business men, celebrities and politicians seeking luxury and peace while staying at the 620 square-foot Loft suite paying more than $800 a night, money surely isn`t an issue for them.
When there is money to flash, it seems the richest spenders wouldn`t mind literally sipping a part of it, to make their circles know how they lead theirlifestyle.The new way to do precisely that, would be the $40,000 Ruby Rose cocktail, which obviously happens to be one of the most expensive cocktails in the world. Made at the White Barn Inn in Kennebunk, Maine, this precious alcoholic concoction uses vodka as the main alcohol base, added with St. Germain Liqueur, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice, a dash of rosewater, all on top of a 4-carat red ruby! The reason for creating this expensive cocktail, is the celebration for the White Barn`s 40th anniversary this year. Looks like the Winston 1858 Croizet cognac cocktail at Club 23, theSalvatore Clabrese $8,830 cocktail, Louis XIII Diamond Jubilee cocktail, or the Goring Hotel`s Swarovski glass cocktail aren`t so rare after all!
For those already looking to sip away $40,000 literally, the Ruby Rose cocktail will be available at the White Barn Inn from June 1 this year. The establishment says that atleast 2 of these would be sold, but the lineup could be more. Currently the team at White Barn have put a New York jeweler on the hunt for perfect specimens of the ruby, which will served with beverage, to be made live in front of the special guests. Do let us know, if anyone does manage to land up there.
When the Ruby Red cocktail has to be delivered, Swinford will literally pull out the white gloves as he pours the drink tableside in a martini glass so the guests can see the gem served in a high quality sterling silver tray. The drink will be available on menu by June.
