The world’s most expensive cocktail marks the opening of Moscow’s first Ice Terrace...
The $50,000 cocktail was launched to mark the aperture of the city’s first-ever ice terrace with a bar at Reka Moscow restaurant. This most expensive alcoholic infusion was bought by the restaurant’s regular guest and a successful entrepreneur, Andrei Melnikov. The price-raising ingredients of this over-the-top cocktail are three one and 1.5-carat diamonds provided by the event’s jewelry sponsor, Crivelli.
Opened on 31st January, the Winter Terrace at Reka Moscow is fashioned entirely out of ice by leading ice-sculptors. They claim to have shipped in 200 tons of pure Siberian ice to create this living masterpiece. Those who haven’t been able to raise a toast with the most expensive cocktail can opt for other Hennessey VSOP cocktails at a bar chiselled out of ice, by BMW designer Chris Bengle, while sitting on an ice stool. Don’t shiver at the thought of being surrounded by all ice as the restaurant has installed a special infrared heating system to keep the guests warm in their ice-sculpted kingdom.
