Bar owner Salvatore Calabrese pours out the mixed ingredients into a glass as he attempts to create the world's most expensive cocktail at his bar in London on Oct. 11. Calabrese blended 1770 Kummel Liqueur, circa 1860 Dubb Orange Curacao, 1778 Clos de Griffier Vieux Cognac and circa 1900 Angostura Bitters to create "Salvatore's Legacy," at a cost of $8,800 a glass. The event was attended by officials from the Guiness Book of World Records and was an attempt to break the previous record set by "The Skyview Bar" in Dubai whose cocktail cost around $6,000 a glass.
Think it tastes any good?

People are going without shelter, clothing and food and we have to be entertained by disgusting displays of in your face wealth. A glass of that $hit could feed a family for quite a while. So do us a favor, keep it to yourselves or at least display it in Architectural Digest or something similar.

Pakistani security officials gather as a steamroller prepares to crush seized bottles of liquor drugs during a ceremony to mark International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, in Karachi on June 26, 2011. Pakistan has more than four million drug addicts in a population of 176 million, according to figures compiled by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF), which is responsible for investigating and prosecuting drug offences. Opium poppy is grown on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, a region infamous for Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked strongholds, and branded the most dangerous place in the world for Americans by US President Barack Obama.
