The $40,000 Cocktail

Monday, 15 April 2013 | by Pat's Picks

If you’ve got $40,000 to spare, go to Maine and head for the White Barn Inn in Kennebunk. When you’re comfortably seated at the bar, order up a Ruby Rose, which features vodka, St. Germain Elderflower, grapefruit and pomegranate juices, a spoonful of rosewater…and a 4-carat ruby. The hotel is hoping to sell one or two of the pricey cocktails, which were created in honor of its 40th anniversary, but just in case you forgot your checkbook, you can order one without the precious gem for $18.
