The Hamptons’ priciest martini costs $8K and comes with a seriously luxe twist: ‘I’m sure they’re gonna sell’
NY Post
That’s one glam gulp.
Flashing cash is a way of life in The Hamptons, but there’s a new, over-the-top way to show off your wealth this summer — by sipping on an $8,000 martini dripping with diamonds.
Luxe libation lovers not looking to hide their shine are heading to Sag Harbor’s DOPO La Spiaggia to try the posh potion — it’s opulence you can sip, served up on a platter for everyone to admire.
On the menu as “The Rocks on Rocks,” this is a classic martini at heart, but with a serious, stunning twist — a 5-carat diamond tennis necklace from Manhattan luxury jeweler Jimmy The Rock Diamonds, hanging off the dramatically oversized glass.
“The Hamptons has always been America’s playground for decadent summer sipping,” JamesRoccisano, founder of Jimmy The Rock Diamonds, told The Post, adding that gems are “now part of the garnish game.”
“Nothing says timeless luxury like a martini. It’s elegant, iconic and unbothered by trends,” he added. “The martini is the little black dress of cocktails, and we dressed it up with 5 carats of sparkle.”
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
