Yep ... you heard it right ...

The Algonquin Hotel In New York City is offering a $10,000 Martini ... and it takes three days to order it.

You first have to meet with a jeweler, who will provide a diamond that will replace the olive.

I wonder how many diamonds will be sucked up unsuspectedly, because I'm sure that they aren't that easy to see ... LOL!

If any of you guys are interested in trying this, I'd be more than happy to rid you of the diamond!

Low "

Low, I work with diamonds every day and let me tell you, you can spend MUCH more than that on one. MUCH more. The one I set yesterday was worth around $35,000.
I can't even imagine spending that kind of money on a piece of jewelry. Hell, I'm lucky if I can scrape together enough dough to buy a box of premium smokes!
