An $8,000 Diamond-Studded Martini Is Being Served At This Hamptons Spot–& Yes, People Are Ordering It
In NYC, you don’t have to travel far to spend so much money on a meal it actually brings a tear to your eye –one of the most expensive restaurants in New York state is in Midtown and the country’s most expensive Michelin Star restaurant is here in NYC. And sometimes it’s just *one* menu item that’s running up your bill, like these $200 23CT gold dusted fries and this $68 omelette. While we’re on the topic, we all know how Hamptonites *love* the glitz and the glam and all things flashy–and apparently they also like gulping on the glitz and the glam as an $8,000 martini is being poured at this Hamptons restaurant, and it’s literally dripping in diamonds. Excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor. Over at Sag Harbor’s DOPO La Spiaggia, bartenders are serving The Rocks on Rocks, an $8,000 martini served in a dramatically oversized martini glass and garnished with a five carat diamond tennis necklace from Manhattan jeweler Jimmy The Rock Diamonds. And no, you don’t have to sneak the necklace into your bag like you maybe would with those small french fry baskets we all love (for legal reasons we’re certainly *not* condoning this!!!). Rather, **the necklace is yours to keep–*and* the massive glass. James Roccisano, who created the drink, told The Post: > The Hamptons has always been America’s playground for decadent summer sipping. Nothing says timeless luxury like a martini. It’s elegant, iconic and unbothered by trends. The martini is the little black dress of cocktails, and we dressed it up with 5 carats of sparkle. And while we’d typically question someone’s sanity willing to spend $8,000 on a drink–or maybe even glow a bit green with jealousy–it’s actually not a bad deal if you do have the funds. The necklace alone is valued at $10K, and the average price of a martini in New York City typically ranges from $12 to $20. So, technically speaking, you’re getting the cocktail for $2,020 off! Girl math! According to Forty Insider, the cocktail debuted on Saturday, June 21st and, as of five days ago, three have already sold. And beyond being flashy, the cocktail is also sort of philanthropic– $1,000 from each one sold is donated to a charity of the sipper’s choice. DOPO La Spiaggia has reportedly already ordered up a dozen more oversized martini glasses so they can keep them coming. If you’re interested in treating yourself this [summer](https://secretnyc.co/things-to-do-in-nyc-summer-2025/) the martini will be served chilled while supplies last,** and will also be available at Dopo Argento in Southampton later this summer. 📍 6 Bay Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963 Source: https://secretnyc.co/8000-dollar-diamond-studded-martini-hamptons/
