The most expensive drink you've drank?

davet82 · 14-12-2012 02:59PM #1

I was reading about some guy in england who ran up a bar bill £121,000 in just 3 hours, http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4696506/playboy-blows-121000-on-champagne-after-casino-win.html , spending £26,000 on one bottle of champagne alone...

Now the most expensive thing i've ever drank was an €8 shot of grey goose (didnt notice any difference between the cheap tesco vodka although i did mix with red bull

), €7.60 for pint bottle of bulmers in Temple bar a couple of years ago and of €4.25 for a room tempature mocha in Starbucks...

Anyways what was the most you've paid for a drink and was it worth it?

I'd love to know what a £26,000 glass of wine taste like tbh, i wonder does it make you live longer or somethin, cause it would fcuking want to at that bloody price!

I've spent well over a grand for bottles of champagne or whisky when I've been out quite a few times.

Most expensive I've drank was an £8000 bottle of champagne that someone else bought though.

Some fancy Remy Martin that was 2k for a ten glass bottle, by the neck.:)

I got a gift one year back in the off a company i'd done some work for.Inside there was a bottle of water called bling which was worth 70 euro or something.

No idea but guessing that it was probably bought in one of the classy establishments in Leeson St. Sold by some charlatan with the words "Would sir like a bottle of our finest liebfraumilch for a knock down price of €34?".

€18 for a measure of black bush that was matured in a rum soaked barrel, was lovely and i ended up having a few

What's with the comma in the thread title? Was the OP asking an expensive drink if it's ever drank?

Last year I bought a glass of 35 year old Middleton for €440. Though expensive, was unreal*

just as unreal as the whole story.

I once had a Remy Martin XO bought for me. I swallowed it in one go like a neanderthal due to being drunk at the time. It was all well and good until the next morning when I was told it was IR£45 (punts) a shot at the time. I nearly puked into my vomit.

for a bottle in privalge? i think you got off lightly. When i was there, a friend of mine had the first round and paid that price for 2 shots of vodka and one red bull... i went missing for the second round

it's a lovely drink too, up there with the Hennessy XO, which I buy every year for Christmas, along with a Johnny Walker Blue Label. Possibly my two favourite drinks.

The other half and I had cocktails in the Hemingway Bar at the Ritz Cartlton in Paris last year.

2 cocktails and a plate of 4 sliders came to €75. Was outstanding though.

Was there for new years once - it would've been cheaper to go out in dublin AND get mugged on the way home! And every second pub/club/restaurant shut up at around 9pm - on new years eve!!:eek: Beautiful place full though
