Electra sipping Foxwoods Resort's Signature $3,000 "Sapphire Martini" at The Mezz Ultra Lounge

Would you pay three-grand for a martini?

Connecticut's Foxwoods Resort Casino is offering a new signature cocktail. It's called the Sapphire martini and is made with Blue Curacao, Bombay Sapphire Gin, a splash of dry vermouth and is coated with blue sugar on the rim. But it's not the booze that makes it so expensive. Each Sapphire martini comes with a pair of custom-made blue sapphire and diamond earrings. The casino isn't alone in offering ultra pricey drinks. The Algonquin Hotel's Blue Bar in New York offers a ten-thousand diamond martini. They've sold two since 2004.
