Moscow has the most expensive cocktail in the world. Moscow has created its first ever ice terrace with a bar. This cocktail contains [three 1-1,5 carat diamonds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-diamond). Reka Moscow decided to make history with its restaurant. The brand added in the Italian company Crivelli as the opening event's jewelry sponsor. Crivelli provided the decadent pieces of bling for the event.

It is extremely luxurious in every way, shape and form. The lucky guest who got the chance to try this ridiculously expensive drink was entrepreneur and regular guest at Reka Moscow Andrey Melnikov. The diamond-infused drink comes with a $50,000 price tag. [Hennessy V.S.O.P](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champslyses-cocktail) acts as the ice terrace sponsor by offering lesser indulgent cocktails still made with [premium products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deko-cocktails).

To create this 120 square metered area almost 20 tons of pure Siberian ice was needed. The area seats a total of 80 people comfortably.
