# $30,000 Valentine's Margaritas This Pricey Margarita is Better than Roses and Chocolates By Erin Fox | Published 2015-02-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/valentines-margarita References: [luxurytrump](http://luxurytrump.com/winedine/30000-valentines-margarita/) & [ironcactus](http://ironcactus.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-nobu-rare), Grand Marnier Centenaire, [freshly squeezed lime juice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millionaire-margarita) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury Food and Drink Experiences:** Opportunity for businesses to create exclusive, high-priced culinary and beverage offerings that cater to luxury consumers. - **Collaborations Between Food and Jewelry Industries:** Potential for partnerships between food establishments and jewelry designers to create unique and memorable experiences for customers. - **Philanthropy in Experiential Marketing:** The use of charitable donations as a marketing strategy to attract socially conscious consumers and enhance brand reputation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality and Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants and bars can explore innovative gourmet experiences to attract high-end clientele and create buzz around their establishments. - **Jewelry Industry:** Jewelry designers can explore collaborations with food and beverage establishments to create unique, limited-edition pieces that tie into culinary experiences. - **Marketing and Advertising Industry:** Marketers can leverage philanthropy as a branding tactic to engage socially conscious consumers and promote positive social impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diamond-Encrusted Martini Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marrow-martini.md) - [Precious Chocolate Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/serendipity3-diamond-frrrozen-hot-chocolate.md) - [$1000 Bourbon Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-most-expensive-bloody-mary.md) - [Premium Frozen Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-frozen-margaritas.md) - [Immersive Margarita Tastings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-margarita-day.md) - [Date Night-Themed Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipsy-cupid.md) - [Limited Margarita Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margarita-deals.md) - [Celebrative Margarita Offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-robin-commemorates.md) - [Romantic Mexican Cuisine Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrio-queen-mi-amor-valentines-day-menu.md)
