Celebrate National Margarita Day with the $1,200 Billionaire Margarita

It's National Margarita Day, and to mark this special occasion, The London Bar in New York City is serving up the Billionaire Margarita for the bargain price of $1,200.

Jayson Goldstein, the London NYC's food and beverage director, concocted the drink after procuring a $7,500 bottle of Patron en Lalique Serie 1. "They only produced 500 bottles of this series," he told Fox Business. "They really wanted to have limited production of it. It's very unique." Since most people won't ever experience the taste of this tequila, Goldstein describes it as "really smooth" with "really nice vanilla and caramel notes" and a "hint of floral." The tequila is topped off with half-an-ounce of Louis XIII cognac, which usually runs $375 a shot, and "exotic fruits like Meyer lemon, Key limes, and organic blue agave."

The bar has yet to sell one of these luxe margaritas, but Goldstein said he's hoping to sell six or seven (plus, he'll throw in the glass for free). Yes, for $1,200 you could purchase a ticket to Mexico and book a stay at an all-inclusive resort with endless margaritas, but would that make you feel like a billionaire?
