When you think of environments where you might find an outrageously expensive drink a western theme with beef brisket and bull-riding probably doesn't come to mind. But then all kinds of strange things happen in New York, and the restaurant located in Rockefeller Center called Johnny Utah's is no exception. That expensive drink is a $51 margarita called the Vault, and it's made with Herradura Suprema tequila, grilled lime juice, and agave syrup. Seems pretty simple, but then usually simple is best.

I know a place in California that has a $75 Margarita.

Alexander's Steakhouse uses Gran Patron, 150 Year Grand Marnier and 24k gold around the edge of the glass.

It's rather tasty.

The Four Seasons in Austin Texas has a $95 margarita
- made with 1.5 ounces of Herradura Seleccion Suprema, a tequila aged in French oak for five years and considered by many aficionados to be one of the world's finest; 1.5 ounces of Grand Marnier Cuvee du Centenaire, a limited edition of the orange-flavored liqueur and 1.5 ounces of fresh lime juice
