Next time you’re feeling flush and find yourself in Dubai, head over to the Skyview Bar in the Burj Al Arab (you know—that crazy-surreal hotel that looks like a colossal sailboat) for sunset cocktails. Be sure to order the 27.321, which is named for its price in the local currency, UAE dirham. Don’t worry about the exchange rate—it’ll only cost you $7,450, or roughly $400 a sip. Oh, and don’t forget the 20% tip for the barkeep, which would be around $1500. Hmm…ever get the feeling you’re in the wrong line of work?
So the 27.321 is not actually liquid gold, but it sounds pretty tasty if you’re a scotch connoisseur—combining a 55-year-old Macallan single-malt natural-color whisky with homemade passion fruit sugar and then served over ice cubes made of water from the Macallan distillery in Scotland. For good measure, they throw in a complimentary oak stirrer made from a Macallan cask and a Baccarat 18-karat gold glass, which (kind of) reminds me of the time I got a free back-scratcher with a pina colada I ordered at an airport bar in Hawaii. Don’t ya just love “free” stuff?
The 27.321 will only be available to the first 10 billionaires who order it, so book your flight now! And cheers to you, or rather “shucram,” as they say in the UAE.
