$10k cocktail, and a monkey

Still remember the ten thousand dollar martini at the Algonquin Hotel some ten years ago? (NPR’s pic to the left.)

First, I never thought Algonquin could do such thing.

Second, I also thought, what a desperate move to gain attention. If they mounted the diamond on the straw, probably would make this outlandish drink more palpable or appetizing.

Now, Tiffany came out with a very classic design. It’s gorgeous and vivid. You don’t have to break your piggy bank to buy it: only US$350. By the way this is the year of monkey in China.
