Introducing the $500 milkshake

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, "It's HOW much?".

In an effort to set tongues wagging and wallets running, cocktail bar The Powder Room of Hollywood, California, has announced a flamboyant milkshake to mark its official opening on 22nd November.

The final recipe for this $500 (£309) 'shake is yet to be finalised by award-winning mixologist Adrianne Biggs, hence the lack of photos, but the bar has stated that the drink will include premium spirits, Belgian chocolate and edible gold. If that wasn't lavish enough, the milkshake will be garnished with a $190 (£118) Swarovski Nirvana Montana blue crystal ring - a corporeal souvenir to accompany the monster hang-over.

"We wanted to offer an experience where guests could take something special home with them, and it's perfect for a bachelorette party or a special occasion," owner John Arakaki told ABC News. We'll take three.
