I guessing that when you want to propose marriage to someone, you have to find a special and romantic way to do it. What better way to say ‘I love you’ than by spending a lot of money on the Algonquin Hotel proposal martini?

This bad boy comes with its own custom [engagement ring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrot-gold-engagement-ring) (inside a delicious martini, of course), delivered to your sweetheart on a silver platter by a waiter wearing white gloves. The Algonquin Hotel proposal requires at least 72 hours notice, so that you can work with the jeweler to ensure the ring it just right.
