I have just been reading in a magazine about the world's most expensive cocktail.

It's called 'Gold Rush' and was created at the Rivoli Bar at the Ritz. It is made from vodka, peach liqueur, Grand Marnier and Champagne. Slim flecks of 14k gold float and shimmer in the drink. You are also given a swizzlestick to go with it...this converts into a diamond bracelet.

The price......?......a mere £45,000.

Lol...nice! It ought to come with a voucher for the nearest jewelers' store
- so that you can get your sticky diamond swizzle-stick, err, bracelet cleaned afterwards! I mean, for that price...

LOL Barry, does that mean you're treating? :)

Katz, for that price, I would lick it clean..LOL!

Besotted...of course, I could do no less.

Hi Prince Barry....

Lol - I'll drink the much cheaper alternative :

Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamon schnapps (43.5%), a clear liqueur with very thin yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold is extremely small and serves as a sort of novelty.

An urban legend associated with this drink is that the gold flakes cause small incisions in one's esophagus, therefore allowing the alcohol to enter one's bloodstream faster. This is not true for many reasons, the most obvious being that this would be a legal nightmare for the Goldschlager company.

There is less than a tenth of a gram (0.1g) of gold flakes in a 750 ml bottle of Goldschläger.

Cheers,
Dawn
