Spoil Yourself to Some Decadent Drinks
Like everyone else, you've probably been more conscious about where and how you spend your dollar. You've scrimped and saved, pinched every penny, and clipped every coupon. But every once in a while, you need to spoil yourself and splurge a bit. Here are just a couple places with incredible libations for jaw-dropping prices.
One of the most exquisite spots to eat in Chicago is Tru in the Streeterville neighborhood. This stylish example of haute cuisine features a progressive French menu. Items on the tasting menu in the past have included various dishes of white truffles ($250), rare vintage Clos des Goisses ($900 by the bottle), Montrachet wine ($2400), Barolo red wine ($800), and Ch'teau d'Yquem ($1200).
Adobo Grill in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood is the spot for upscale Mexican fare. And at $50, this is also where you can find the most expensive margarita in the city. The 'Maria Felix' Margarita, named after a famous actress in Mexico, includes a shot from a $300 bottle of Herradura Selecci'n Suprema, a bit of 150-year-old Grand Marnier, freshly-squeezed lime juice, and a sea-salt rim'all prepared tableside.
So if you have a few extra dollars to spend, treat yourself to a decadent cocktail. Just be sure to bring me along too.
