$100 Margarita? This one actually sounds worth it.

The Benjamin, the $100 margarita served at Red O Restaurant in Los Angeles

Come summertime, my favorite drink, hands down, is the margarita. On the rocks or frozen, original lime, pomegranate, strawberry, salt or no salt…I’ll take them all. Maybe it’s the heat, but nothing sounds better to quench my thirst this time of year…and that first glorious sip of a delicious margarita in the summer sun is worth almost any amount of money. But when I heard about this $100 margarita, The Benjamin, served at Red O Restaurant in Los Angeles, even I questioned what was in it. Turns out it just may be worth it! They start with the three exquisite, extra añejo (or “ultra-aged”) tequilas: Patron Burdelos, Herradura Selection Suprema and Partida Elegante. Add some Grand Marnier Cuvee du Cent Cinquentanaire, 100% organic agave syrup, fresh lime juice and Louis XIII cognac on top. Then top this $100 margarita off with blood orange caviar and an edible-gold-and-kosher-salt rim. Yuuuum. I’ll have two. Book the next flight to L.A., we are headed to Red O.
