The Gold Digger @ Buddha Bar.
The Meatpacking District's Buddha Bar is the latest to jump on the novelty drink bandwagon. They say this "very special summer cocktail" is just for the ladies...which could be taken as an insult considering it's called the Gold Digger. Before the sparkle is added, here's what you get:
2 oz Zuidam GinWhat makes the cocktail worth your (or presumably, some investment banker's) hard earned 50 bucks? Gold of course! It's the...gold standard of novelty menu items. This one, more specifically, promises "gold-wrapped olives and a golden spear designed by Rick Toscano." Though the photo seems to show flakes and a glorified wooden toothpick. Dare we say the same result could come from a bottle of Goldschläger?
½ oz. Dry Vermouth
Served in a martini glass
Imbibers that are okay with ordering the unfortunately-named drink might even consider enjoying one with a gold Twinkie for the ultimate in decadent wining and dining.

Some people have no class whatsoever.
Also, who needs bits of metal stuck to their teeth? Hmm that's attractive.
In communist Russia, Gold Digger drinks you!

This is why the terrorists hate us.
wow a David Cross joke come to life!
Just a tad sexist. I demand a Douchebag Junior Analyst Cocktail!
Gold? How déclasse. Everybody who's anybody eats and drinks only platinum nowadays.
Notice the cheap ass Sysco brand olives (a standard supplier for all restaurants but most prefer a higher quality product). And they are lovingly skewered on a plastic straw. CLASSY
