Restaurant Goes Viral for Serving Caviar and Cocktail in $33K Hermès Birkin — but There's a Catch (Exclusive)
Papi Steak in Miami is going viral for serving a cocktail in an Hermès Birkin bag Content creator Mister Lewis shared a video of himself ordering the luxurious drink The drink itself costs $150, though it is served in a bag that's worth tens of thousands of dollarsThis is one way to get your hands on an Hermès Birkin! Papi Steak restaurant in Miami Beach is going viral for serving a cocktail and caviar inside of an Hermès Birkin bag, but there's more to it than meets the eye. In a video shared to TikTok on May 19, content creator Mister Lewis visits the restaurant and asks what the most expensive cocktail is. A server replies that Papi Streak's new drink, titled "It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail," is presented with caviar inside an orange Birkin bag and has a price tag of $33,000. Commenters on TikTok had a lot to say about the viral drink, with many referencing the notorious exclusivity of Birkin bags. "$33,000 and apparently this is still somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin," one user joked. However, the menu item doesn't actually come with that steep of a cost. While it's served in a bag worth tens of thousands, the customer doesn't get to keep the famed Hermès creation. "The bag is more art/inspiration and the cocktail itself only costs $150," a representative of the restaurant tells PEOPLE over email. "It arrives tableside, with two glasses — one for the cocktail and another for the caviar pairing," they further explained. "The cocktail is poured table side and caviar is served on top of ice in the second glass." The drink is available to purchase anytime during service and there's no limit on the number that can be served. Papi Steak co-owner David "Papi" Einhorn tells PEOPLE about the inspiration behind the unique cocktail experience. ! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Papi Steak (@papisteak) "We're always looking for fun, elevated ways to surprise our guests with a memorable tableside experience," he says. "Papi Steak is all about luxury with a twist of entertainment. Much like our famous Beefcase was inspired by Pulp Fiction, this cocktail concept takes a cue from Sex and the City. Everyone's always wondered, 'What's in that bag?' Now they get to find out." Einhorn notes that the drink has been incredibly popular. "We can't make enough of them!" he says. "Each night outperforms the last." The co-owner continues, "Papi Steak is more than a restaurant; it's a full entertainment and dining destination, and this cocktail has become yet another iconic, Instagram-worthy moment to complement an unforgettable meal." Papi Steak, which also has a location in Las Vegas, is a partnership between David Grutman (Groot Hospitality) and Einhorn. The It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail drink includes Belvedere 10 vodka, grapefruit oil saccharum and Lillet Blanc, as well as caviar.

Cocktail of the week: Don't Tell Dad's clarified curry leaf daiquiri – recipe
Milk clarification can create a cocktail that will last in your fridge door for up to a year. The protein from the milk binds to the tannins in the drink, giving it a lovely, silken texture and balancing the alcohol. You'll need to make the infusion at least five days ahead. Serves 1 For the rum infusion20g fresh curry leaves 400ml white rum – we use East London Liquor Co For the premix400ml curry leaf rum infusion – see above and method50ml overproof rum – we use Ron Colón High Proof150ml standard 1:1 grapefruit sugar syrup (ie, equal parts fresh grapefruit juice and sugar)150ml fresh lime juice 125ml whole milk For the drink75ml clarified curry leaf daiquiri – see above and method1 fresh curry leaf, to garnish For the infusion, put the curry leaves in a half-litre jar, pour over the white rum, seal and leave to infuse for five to seven days, until the leaves lose their colour. Pour all the premix ingredients bar the milk into a large container, and stir. Add the milk, stir gently, then leave to curdle by letting it sit at room temperature for about two hours. Once curdled, strain through cheesecloth set inside a fine-mesh sieve – to start with, it will look cloudy, but after the milk solids settle in the sieve, it will start to strain through clear. The moment it does so, move the sieve over a second container and pour the cloudy initial pour back in to strain again. Decant into clean bottles or jars, seal and refrigerate. To serve, pour the clarified daiquiri over ice in a tumbler, stir to chill and dilute, and garnish with a curry leaf. Edward Sims, bar manager, Don't Tell Dad, London NW6

Exclusive Miami restaurant loved by Trump's daughters shocks fans by selling $33,000 Birkin cocktail
An exclusive, celebrity-beloved Miami restaurant has shocked the internet by selling a $33,000 cocktail that comes with a secret ingredient. Content creator Mister Lewis visited Papi Steak in Miami and asked the server what their most expensive drink was. The server explained It's Not a Bag, It's a Cocktail sells for $33,000 if the diner opts to also purchase the Birkin bag it comes with - otherwise, it's $150 for the Belvedere 10 cocktail with a peach garnish that comes with its own side of caviar. A bottle of Belvedere 10 retails for around $140. Mister Lewis, who calls himself a 'luxury connoisseur,' often shares viral videos where he visits bars, restaurants, and high-end grocery stores and opts for the priciest menu option. He quickly went viral on TikTok when he shared a video procuring the cocktail and the Birkin bag, which is famously difficult to buy. In fact, most people must spend thousands on other Hermes products before they are offered a Birkin, which means the accessories go for thousands of dollars on the resale market. Commenters had a field day, with some exclaiming that it's the best way to buy a Birkin - although others thought it could be a dupe. '$33,000 and apparently this is still somehow the easiest way to get a Birkin,' one person said, asking, 'You get to keep it right?' 'Does Hermes knows they are offering Birkins with cocktails now?' a commenter questioned. 'So much for exclusive and elevated,' they complained. Another summed it up as a $10 drink with a $32,990 bag. 'I'm sorry but that bag is very fake,' an angry commenter claimed, as another said it did not appear to have the Hermès logo. While it's possible the restaurant chain procured the exclusive bag on its own, one fashion fan explained that the design house 'would never license a restaurant to sell their most exclusive product.' They continued: 'Just picture it, a place where dishes are washed, foods are fried, and margaritas are shaken... selling BIRKINS.' Papi Steak shared its own video showcasing the cocktail on Instagram with plenty of Hermès boxes, telling followers 'It's not just a bag.' The restaurant is known for its over-the-top menu items, including the viral $1,000 'Beef Case' Steak Tomahawk-cut that's a spectacle complete with changing lights throughout the entire building to celebrate the lavish order. The 93-seat chophouse delivers an innovative dining experience that has made it a hit with celebrities. The restaurant, with locations in Miami and Las Vegas, boasts a whole slew of celebrity fans, including Ivanka Trump, her younger half-sister Tiffany, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sofia Vergara, Hailey Bieber, and John Travolta. In fact, Tiffany celebrated her 27th birthday at the 'high energy steakhouse.' Co-owner David Einhorn presented her with an enormous three-tiered cake decorated with with nearly a dozen photos taken from her Instagram account. Ivanka and her son Joseph, 10, were spotted dining there in March.

Cocktail of the week: Elements' earth – recipe
The inspiration behind this drink was a basil sour I had when I was working in Trondheim, Norway. I loved the flavour combinations, and was keen to incorporate similar herbaceous notes into a drink that would represent one of the four elements, as well as our new restaurant. I've used citrus in the form of yuzu to introduce another flavour dimension that blends in harmoniously. At the restaurant, we make big batches of the citrus syrup from spent lemons and limes, to save on wastage. Serves 2 For the syrup 100g finely chopped mixed lime and lemon peel 50g finely chopped basil 100g sugar For the drink80ml gin – we use Downpour Original 30ml yuzu liqueur – we use Choya 150ml basil and citrus syrup – see above and method 30ml lime juice 40ml egg white (from about 1 large egg) 4 slices dehydrated lime, to garnish Put all the syrup ingredients in a medium pan, add 100g cold water and put on a medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar, for six to eight minutes. Take off the heat, leave to cool and infuse overnight or, better still, for 48 hours, then fine-strain into a clean jar, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for about three weeks. To build the drink, measure all the liquids into a shaker, add the egg white, then dry shake to set the white. Add ice, shake again, to chill and dilute, then fine-strain into two coupes, garnish each drink with two slices of dried lime and serve. Connor Wren, bar manager, Elements, Glasgow
