Blossom Cocktail Lounge in DC is selling a $1,000 cocktail
A Washington, D.C.-area bar is putting other pricey cocktails to shame with its swanky menu addition.
Blossom Cocktail Lounge at MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland — a ten-mile drive from the White House — is enticing guests of the hotel and casino with it's very over-the-top drink.
The Dom-arita, as they call it, sets customers back a whopping $1,000 — not including tip — and comes topped with an entire bottle of high-end Dom Perignon Brut Champagne champagne.
Swank: Blossom Cocktail Lounge is serving a $1,000 cocktail made with Don Julio 1942 Tequila, Grand Marnier Quintessence, and a full bottle of champagne
Pretty: The lounge is located in the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, near Washington, D.C.
Created by lead bartender Antony Sazerac, the cocktail is made with Don Julio 1942 Tequila and Grand Marnier Quintessence — both very pricey drinks in their own right. Those are mixed with agave nectar, fresh lime juice, and fresh seasonal fruits.
It is served in a crystal-etched decanter with a spout for pouring, and a full bottle of Dom is overturned inside of it.
'As the guests drink from the punch the bottle continues to empty out to refresh the punch,' Sazerac told Daily Mail Online.
Naturally, with that much alcohol, the drink is meant to serve more than just one, and is recommended for eight to ten people.
Amazing: The special cocktail was created by lead bartender Antony Sazerac
Too pretty to drink: The bar also serves up other beautiful cocktails from $14 to $16
There is also a $130 version of the pricey punch cocktail made with less expensive champagne (not pictured)
'The idea for the Dom-a-rita came from the tagline of Blossom Cocktail Bar, "Be the center of attention,"' Sazerac explained.
'We wanted our guests to have the opportunity to turn heads from other guests in the lounge, and passersby in the casino outside the lounge. It was designed to be a statement piece for high rollers looking to have a different experience from the standard bottle service.'
For guests who aren't such high rollers — but are still intrigues by the ritzy-looking drink — there is also a less expensive version, the Champagne-arita, for $130.
Other cocktails on the menu range from $14 to $16.
