The $6,000 Drink of Chicago
If you’ve ever been to Chicago’s The Lodge, you know what a classic establishment the dive bar really is. Between the log cabin-like décor and the welcoming crunch of peanuts on the floor, it’s the kind of place you feel at home in when you go out for a drink. As The Lodge prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary, it will also soon be home to a $6,000 drink.
You read that right. The drink seems simple enough: it’s merely a pour of Woodford Reserve's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey over a diamond-shaped ice cube. That sounds pretty pricey for a drink, but it also includes a certificate for a real diamond—and its proceeds benefit Misericordia Heart Of Mercy. It will be available all year.
Would you fork over $6,000 for a drink if it was for charity—and it included a diamond?
