You think you are out for a lovely after dinner drink with your sweetie, when at the bottom of your martini, what should you spy? Could it really be a diamond engagement ring? It very well might be if you are having drinks at New York’s Algonquin Hotel. Originally the drink came with a price tag of $10,000 and a loose diamond, but the original taker of the infamous diamond martini had the diamond set into a diamond engagement ring before proposing with the high-end drink.
Other hotels are taking the Algonquin’s lead by offering their own version of the diamond martini at different prices. The Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo now offers a $16,000 diamond martini for the romantic spendthrift. At $16,000 for a one-carat Bulgari diamond, you are paying more for the ambiance and the thrill than the value of the diamond. As new ideas for proposals go, it is definitely a night she will remember and that’s the lure of the diamond martini. You will have a one-of-a-kind proposal memory.
If you want to make your own diamond engagement ring martini, you can shop online for the perfect custom engagement ring and then stir up a great drink for your sweetie after a special occasion. You may not have the ambiance of a five-star hotel, but this type of cocktail is sure to please even the pickiest of female beverage aficionados. Just make sure she doesn’t swallow it before she realizes what you put in her drink.
