The £333 Magie Noir cocktail at London's Umbaba

Magie Noir cocktail

On par with the Starlight Room's $650 cocktail, The Evening Standard writes about a new cocktail at Umbaba in Soho called the Magie Noir which can be had for just under $600. The drink was apparently invented on the spot when a pair of Goldman Sachs bankers wanted to celebrate their seven-figure bonuses with "something special." The Magie Noir is composed of a £3,000-a-bottle Richard Hennessy cognac, vintage Dom Perignon, Creme de Mure, fresh lemongrass and lychees. The cocktail, which the bankers bought two rounds of, has been added to Umbaba's cocktails menu and will debut at a party this Saturday where each glass will come with a cocktail pin made of 24-carat white gold.
