HIDE CAPTION
The Benjamin, $100

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Across the U.S. bars are playing a ritzy game of "Who Can Make the Spendiest Cocktail?"
  • Red O Restaurant in Los Angeles serves a $100 margarita
  • At Lily Bar & Lounge in Vegas, $480 gets you drink with a super-rare Johnnie Walker vintage
 Think the $18 martini you ordered at the hotel bar was steep?
That was peanuts.
As in, the little dish of complimentary germ-infested peanuts on the bar.
From California to New York and everywhere in between, ritzy bars are playing a crazy game of "Who Can Make the Costliest Cocktail?" -- and the competition is as stiff as the product.
We scoured the country for examples of the most over-the-top pours we could find, excluding those accompanied by crown jewels or crystal goblets.

Even still, you may need to skip a mortgage payment or two to enjoy a night of these extravagant cocktails.
