London Bartender Makes World's Oldest And Most Expensive Cocktail


World-renowned mixologist Salvatore Calabrese has recently broken the Guinness World Record for making the world's most expensive cocktail, "Salvatore's Legacy."

The video above shows Calabrese creating the concoction in London at Salvatore at Playboy, using the world's most expensive and oldest spirits. The total price of the drink is $8,830. Supposedly, the "world's leading cocktail expert" had to get creative and modify his recipe after a customer dropped and smashed a $77,480 bottle of cognac.

Curious as to exactly what's in it? According to The Atlantic Cities, the recipe calls for "40 mL of 1788 Clos de Griffier Champagne Cognac, 20 mL of 1770 Kümmel herbal liqueur, 20 mL of 1860 Dubb orange curacao and two dashes of Angostura Bitters, a combination that involves a collective 730 years."

Check out the video above to see the lavish libation being made by Calabrese.
