There’s an upscale bar in Chicago that’s selling a cocktail called The Ruby Red that’s served in a martini glass and has a one carat ruby plunked down in the bottom of the glass. It costs $950. The target market for this item is apparently guys with money to throw around (and probably small penises) who want to superficially wow their dates. So far, they’ve had three takers:
The first was to an out-of-town businessman who quietly ordered it for the woman sitting with him at a table.
The next was a Reserve regular who bought one for his girlfriend.
The third was an extravagant club promoter in his 20s who bought it to impress a first date. The man made a big show of handing it to the woman and warned her to watch out for a surprise at the bottom of her martini glass.
Barf. For any would-be suitors out there, you could win my heart by buying me a Dead Guy Ale and one of these. That’s almost a $450 savings!
