Richard Brennerman - The Pangea, a nightclub in Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands casino, offers the Asia’s most expensive libation, garnished with a one-carat diamond.
It’s just the sort of thing you might expect from a resort owned by Las Vegas mogul and militant Ziocon Sheldon Adelson, the man bankrolling — along with the Koch brothers — Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.

Patrick Winn of the Global Post has the story:

 Introducing the "Jewel of Pangaea," a cocktail sold in Singapore for $26,000. That is roughly the per-capita GDP of Greece in a glass.

The Jewel of Pangaea is not slid across a counter by some sweaty barkeep. It is prepared by a man in white gloves who retrieves fancy bottles out of a steel suitcase. As you'll see in the video below, the drink is defended at all times by five intimidating bodyguards.

"The jewel of Pangea is not just a drink," says Sabrina Van Cleef Ault, owner of Pangaea, the exclusive club that serves the Jewel of Pangaea. "It's the spirit of Pangea in a glass. Are you ready?"

This is a rhetorical question. You're not ready.

The not-just-a-drink's ingredients are Hennessy, champagne and edible gold flecks "garnished with a one-karat Mouawad triple-X flawless diamond."
