Ritzy, celeb-fave restaurant sells a $33K cocktail — and it comes with a Birkin bag
It's top-shelf and top-of-the-line.
An exclusive restaurant in Miami sent many into a spiral after revealing a cocktail that comes with a $33,000 price tag — and a Birkin bag.
Content creator Mister Lewis asked a server what the most expensive drink on the menu was at Papi Steak in Miami Beach.

The drink, called 'It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail,' features a cocktail consisting of Belvedere 10 Vodka, grapefruit oil saccharum, and Lillet Blanc with a peach garnish and side of caviar — served inside a Birkin bag.
However, the ritzy drink doesn't have to come with the Birkin. The cocktail alone costs $150 — pennies compared to the $33,000 charge with the classy clutch.
The video quickly went viral, with many noting that this hefty drink might be 'somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin.'
A Birkin bag, which is considered the 'one of the most coveted objects of recent decades,' is notoriously hard to get — and due to its exclusivity, people tend to spend thousands on thousands of dollars on other Hermès products before they can even think about getting a Birkin.
That's because while technically anyone can ask a sales associate about the elite bag, Hermès reserves it for a limited amount of select customers, typically those who have a repeat purchase history with the brand.
'Does Hermès know they are offering Birkins with cocktails now? So much for exclusive and elevated,' another commenter quipped.

Another claimed that ordering the drink to get the Birkin 'is actually smart, he probably got a Birkin for cheaper and is making profit of it.'
While Hermès doesn't list the retail prices of Birkin bags, according to Sotheby's, the smallest one, the Birkin 25, costs $12,100 for a Togo leather bag at brand boutiques in the United States, while the Birkin 30 in Togo leather costs $13,300.
However, secondary market prices tend to range between $28,000 and $30,000 for one bag, though it depends on the model and material — and some can exceed $100,000.

Meanwhile, some commenters on Lewis' video are skeptical that the Birkin bag given at the restaurant — a venue beloved by celebrities such as Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sofia Vergara and Hailey Bieber — is even real.
'Anyone else think the bag they're serving it in is the fake one, and the real one is in the box? Why would they fill a real f–king Birkin with drinks? Lol,' one questioned.

'Bag made in China for about 80 dollars,' another claimed.
'The Birkin is fake … this bag on the video doesn't have the Hermès logo … look up pics before you guys all go crazy,' someone alleged.
'That's not even a Birkin, it's a dupe. No logo or anything on the bag,' another eagle-eyed user pointed out.
But as one user smartly summed it up, patrons are getting a '$10 drink [and a] $32,990 bag.'
