Nick & Sam’s Is Now Serving A Completely Absurd Martini That Costs $10,000 | Eater Dallas

"I visited Nick & Sam’s Uptown, where the steakhouse rolled out the $10,000 “Flawless Martini” — not pricey for its Absolut Elyx vodka (about $50 a bottle), olives stuffed with blue cheese, or Grandeur Regalis caviar, but because it’s stirred with a 14‑karat gold, diamond‑encrusted ampersand swizzle stick crowned by a 1.05‑carat “flawless” diamond. The cocktail is prepared tableside and served in a delicate copper martini glass, and it’s unclear whether patrons get to take the bejeweled swizzle stick home. With the NFL Draft in town, it’s easy to imagine newly balling athletes snapping them up, but Dallasites can hopefully save enough to try it at the Uptown spot before it disappears." - Amy McCarthy
