The $12,736 Martini
We’re seeing this a lot — you buy a vodka martini, and it comes with a diamond inside. The cocktail in the photo, in the process of being mixed at Harvilles Cocktail Lounge in York, England, costs 5,000 British pounds (that’s $12,736) and contains an individually cut diamond.
No doubt, this is one surefire way to impress a date. We do recommend that extra caution be used, lest the diamond, with the vodka, go down the hatch. The owner of Harvilles, David Hattersley, put it best when he said that he is impressed by the Diamond Martini, but a little wary of it. “I am trying to keep Mrs. Hattersley out of there because knowing her she would order it as a chaser,” he said.
