This $5,000 cocktail uses a rare liqueur that costs $1,150 an ounce—here's what it's like (via CNBCMakeIt)
Why is the new $5,000 L' Imperial cocktail so expensive?First, it's made from expensive spirits, including 1 ounce of Nolet's Reserve Gin, which costs $100 a serving; .75 ounces of Cherry Oak Aged Maraschino Liqueur at $50 a serving; and 1 ounce of rare Green Chartreuse liqueur, which is $1,150 a serving.Then there are the Beluga cocktail caviar pearls, which cost $75.
. According to its maker, "only two Chartreuse monks know the identity of the 130 plants, how to blend them and how to distill them into this world famous liqueur. They are also the only ones who know which plants they have to macerate to produce the natural green and yellow colours. And they alone supervise the slow ageing in oak casks."
"The green chartreuse has a lot of spice and soul," says Hodge. "Chartreuse is the only spirit that evolves in the bottle, like a red wine, which makes it expensive and exclusive."
