Anyone ever have a Ritz Sidecar at the Paris Ritz?

Some bars have more expensive drinks, but that's because they put gems in them. But the most costly cocktail which is just liquor is the Ritz Sidecar, served at the Bar Hemingway in the Paris Ritz hotel.

It contains cognac, Cointreau, and lemon juice, and costs 400 Euros (about $500 US).

The cognac is over 150 years old, though. About 60 have been sold in the last three years.

Nope, I have had a cognac that cost $400 a bottle though. It cost $36 for a one drink and it was the second most expensive one on the menu. The most expensive one cost over $1,000 a bottle and about $100 for a drink.

We took my Mother-In-Law out to dinner at the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, CA for her birthday a few years ago...cost us over $400 for 5 people. We shared an appetizer that cost $125!!! :shocked:
