一款叫做The Gigi’s的雞尾酒剛被創作出——并且，出人意料地以8888英鎊（約合88108元人民幣）的高價在倫敦新餐廳Gigi’s in Mayfair被售出。這個標價使其成為史上最貴的雞尾酒。

A cocktail called The Gigi’s has just been mixed – and, perhaps more surprisingly, sold – priced at GBP8,888 (¥88,108), at new restaurant Gigi’s in Mayfair, London. The price makes it the most expensive cocktail ever.

為了紀念參加了餐廳開業的歌手及演員Grace Jones，這款香檳雞尾酒使用了1990年陳年的香檳以及一款稀有的1888年Samalens Vielle Relique陳年雅文邑，還有一些安格斯圖拉苦精及糖，并用可食用的金色葉子裝飾。

In honour of actress and singer Grace Jones, who attended the opening, this champagne cocktail was made using vintage Cristal champagne, circa 1990, rare 1888 Samalens Vielle Relique Vintage Bas Armagnac, together with Angostura bitters and sugar, and garnished with edible gold leaves.

然而，就官方而言，吉尼斯世界最昂貴的雞尾酒記錄仍舊屬于澳大利亞調酒師Joel Heffernan的酒飲The Winston（由1858年Cuvee Leonie干邑制作而成），這款酒在墨爾本以12500澳元（約合68000元人民幣）的價格被售出。Heffernen也曾是從調酒師Salvatore Calabrese手中搶過該頭銜的。他在倫敦The Playboy Club創作的Salvatore’s Legacy cocktail曾以5500英鎊（約合54500元人民幣）每杯的價格售出。

However, officially, the Guinness World Record for the world’s most expensive cocktail still belongs to Australian bartender Joel Heffernan’s drink The Winston – made with Croizet’s 1858 Cuvee Leonie cognac – which sells in Melbourne for around AUD12,500 (¥68,000). Heffernen himself stole the crown from Salvatore Calabrese, whose Salvatore’s Legacy cocktail, created at The Playboy Club in London, cost GBP5,500 (¥54,500) a glass.
