Shaken, not stirred—that’s how a true American martini should be enjoyed. If you’re in the mood to indulge in liquid luxury, the world’s most expensive cocktail awaits you. The Italian restaurant Adalina, located on State Street in Chicago, has unveiled the Marrow Martini, priced at a staggering $13,000 (approximately ₹10,90,412), elevating cocktail culture to new heights.
You may wonder what justifies such a hefty price tag. The Marrow Martini features 150 diamonds, transforming this drink into a sparkling piece of art. Yes, you read that correctly—this diamond-studded cocktail is as much a treasure as it is a beverage.
The Marrow Martini is the result of a collaboration between Adalina and Marrow Fine, a jewelry company. Created by Colin Hofer, who has been recognized as the Michelin Guide’s “Sommelier of the Year,” this cocktail is not just a drink; it’s a culinary and gemological masterpiece. At the heart of the creation is a stunning 9.00ctw diamond tennis necklace, crafted from 14k gold and adorned with 150 diamonds.
The Marrow Martini is a smoky heirloom tomato mezcal martini, served under a mysterious smoke-filled cloche. This innovative cocktail blends garden flavors with Clase Azul Mezcal, a premium tequila made from blue agave, providing a rich and smoky flavor profile that enhances the luxurious experience.
Jillian, the founder and creative director of Marrow Fine, designed the tennis necklace specifically for this extraordinary cocktail. She explained that the tennis necklace, often referred to as an “eternity bracelet,” symbolizes timeless elegance—much like the classic martini itself.
While the Marrow Martini currently holds the title of the world’s most expensive cocktail, it enters a competitive arena of lavish drinks. One notable contender is the Diamonds Are Forever Martini, served at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo, which includes a 1-carat diamond at the bottom of the glass. Previously, the Guinness World Record for the most expensive cocktail was held by The Winston, a $13,000 drink at Club 23 in Melbourne, made with Croizet’s 1858 Cuvee Leonie cognac, valued at an astounding $160,000.
Whether it’s the smoky richness of the mezcal or the glittering diamonds that allure you, the Marrow Martini promises an experience fit for royalty. This cocktail redefines indulgence, merging exquisite taste with stunning design.
If you find yourself at Adalina in Chicago and feel inclined to treat yourself to something extravagant, the Marrow Martini is ready to welcome you. For those not quite ready to splurge on diamonds, there’s good news: the cocktail is also available without the necklace for a more approachable $150.
In a world where opulence often reigns, the Marrow Martini stands out as a remarkable example of what it means to indulge in true luxury. With a cocktail that looks as stunning as it tastes, who wouldn’t want to take a sip? For an experience like no other, the Marrow Martini might just be worth its breathtaking price tag.
