"The purchase of the Marrow Martini entails a specially curated smoked heirloom tomato martini with mezcal, and the diamond tennis necklace, which is intended to pair perfectly with the martini and provide an heirloom to last for generations."
"I chose Mezcal because I believe it has untapped potential as a luxury spirit. Mezcal, much like heirloom jewelry, is often overlooked despite its richness."
"The martini itself is made from lemon basil olive oil, chili liqueur, and heirloom tomato water paired with Clase Azul Mezcal, which is distinctly different than regular tequila, especially in combination with the Marrow Martini's other ingredients."
Adalina, an Italian fine-dining restaurant on Chicago's State Street led by Michelin-starred Chef Soo Ahn, offers the Marrow Martini, priced at $13,000 and recognized as the most expensive martini in the United States. The drink combines lemon basil olive oil, chili liqueur, heirloom tomato water, and Clase Azul Mezcal, served in a smoky cloche. The purchase includes an exclusive 9-carat diamond tennis necklace featuring 150 diamonds set in 14k yellow gold, designed as an heirloom piece. Sommelier Colin Hofer selected mezcal for its luxury potential and richness, comparing it to overlooked heirloom jewelry. The restaurant sold one Marrow Martini within the first week of its introduction.
