Liquid Fantasies: Things that are too cool/trendy for me

*but I'm very interested to try

  • Before we start perhaps we should prepare our bodies with a "pretox drink." From Alibi Drinks, Pretox is "the opposite of a DETOX product. It’s a drink that prepares your body to receive and process the toxins you are exposed to on a daily basis, rather than with a detox product which typically only starts to work once the toxins are already in your system." And apparently it mixes well,er as well
  • Sparkling Rose has been called the ultimate girly drink, and with glittering pink sparkles it seems like it definitely would be. and it's less than 20 bucks."Pink by Yellowglen is a delicious sparkling blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from South Eastern Australia. It displays strawberry aromas and refreshing fruit flavors of sweet berry & lime. Or put simply, yum." I'm really intrigued.
  • Almost as intrigued as I am by Paris' Rich Prosecco, champagne in a can. That's hot.
  • Of course no amount of Paris Hilton or champagne can make Rich Prosecco (not really crazy about that name) as classy as say:
    • Dos Lunas Extra Anejo tequila "is bottled in hand-blown Baccarat decanters and aged for 10 years in Spanish sherry oak casks. It comes with undeniably beautiful crystal stoppers as well as a sterling silver necklace and key." for $2,500. I have a checkered history with tequila but the way they describe it "In many ways Grand Reserve is closer to the finest single malts and cognacs than to other tequilas. We set out to create the world’s best tequila and that goal informed every decision that was made, from growth through production to packaging.” The result is an Extra Añejo of remarkable complexity, unparalleled smoothness and luxurious presentation – a tequila that sets a new standard for the category" I'd feel I'd love it so much before I was on my knees in the bathroom.
    • A $71,000 "Flawless" cocktail only available at Movida's in London "It’s officially the world’s most expensive Christmas cocktail ...Ingredients in the costly cocktail include a large measure of Louis XII cognac, half a bottle of Cristal Rose champagne, some brown sugar, angostura bitters and a few flakes of 24-carat edible gold leaf, But the real extravagance is an 11-carat white diamond ring - which can be found at the bottom of the glass. And customers buying the exorbitant cocktail won’t go unnoticed. Two security guards will be on watch as the drink is prepared and watch over the client’s table until the last sip. Or
    • "This Beauté du Siècle treasure chest containing a 100-year-old Hennessy cognac available in Russia for $200,000."
  • at times looking at prices like that I always remember that though I can't afford those things I really don't need them, probably wouldn't appreciate them and there are children starving in Mississippi. Puts things in perspective, y'know?
