The Ruby and the Cocktail

$40,000 a Drink - What's it Worth?


The Ruby Rose

If you've got some four-carat rubies to unload, The White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, ME is in the market. The famous hotel and restaurant has people out shopping now, in fact, to prepare for a special offer commemorating 40 years in business -- rubies being the anniversary gemstone for 40 years. Beginning June 1, The White Barn will begin offering a special cocktail, the Ruby Rose: Hanger One Vodka, St. Germain Elferflower, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, pomegranate, a spoonful of rosewater, and a four-carat ruby. At forty-thousand bucks a glass, there's not likely to be a run on Ruby Roses, but the Inn says it's stocking up on the gems just in case. You can get a Ruby Red sans-stone for $18, but what fun is that?
