$30,000 Valentine's Margaritas

This Pricey Margarita is Better than Roses and Chocolates

— February 12, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Iron Cactus Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar has created a Valentine's margarita worth $30,000. Located in Austin, Texas, the bar outlines the ingredient list to include Patrón Platinum Tequila, Grand Marnier Centenaire, freshly squeezed lime juice and 100% organic agave Nectar. However, none of these items are quite worth the whopping price tag. Attached to the sliced lime garnished on the side of the drink is a pair of drop diamond earrings.

The earrings are by jewelry designer, Zoltan David, and feature 260 D-color diamonds weighing in at 3.75 karats. David named the Valentine's margarita 'Vision' after the earrings. If the drink is purchased, the bar promises to donate $6,000 to Cheyanna’s Champion’s for Children.
