Economy in the toilet? Your house being foreclosed on? Just lost your job?  Well somebody apparently doesn’t share your grief as an “unnamed couple” visiting the new XS nightclub at the Encore expansion of the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas dropped a bank breaking $10,000 for single cocktail (yes, you read that right). So here is what $10k buys you:

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 oz Louis XIII black pearl cognac
• 1/2 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
• 1/4 oz apricot puree
• 1/4 sence rose nectar
• 2 ice cubes
• 4 oz Charels Heidseck’s 1981 Champagne Charlie

Directions:

The orange juice and apricot puree are mixed and poured into the custom champagne glass. The champagne glass and Black Pearl cognac (served in its own custom-designed glass) are presented on a crystal tray along with a bottle of Charles Heidsieck’s “1981 Champagne Charlie”. The “XS” pearl necklace and “XS” cufflinks are also presented on the tray in their respective boxes. While the guests are ooohing and aaahing over their treasures, the server opens the champagne and finishes building the drink by pouring the Black Pearl cognac and 4 oz. of champagne into the glass with the juice mixture.

If there was ever a drink to wash it all away this would be at the op of the list I would think!  Credit on the profile goes exclusively to myvegasscene.com which broke all the info and are an all around cool site.
