The Over-the-Top Libations and Grub of the Super Bowl: A Look at the $50 Cocktail and $36 Nachos
The Super Bowl is synonymous with big, lavish spreads and over-the-top entertainment. And what better way to enjoy the biggest game of the year than with a drink and some snacks that will leave you feeling like a champion? Two of the most talked-about items at this year’s Super Bowl was the $50 cocktail and the $36 nachos, and in this article, we’ll take a closer look at what exactly made them so special.
The $50 Cocktail: The "NBA"
The $50 cocktail, aptly named the "NBA," was a real showstopper. This luxurious concoction was crafted with some of the finest ingredients available, including:
- 1 1/2 oz Hennessy Cognac
- 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
- 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 1/4 oz passionfruit puree
- 1 splash of soda water
- Edible gold dust (because, why not?)
Shaken and strained into a chilled coupe glass, this cocktail was designed to be a true indulgence. With its complex flavors and luxurious presentation, it’s no wonder it commanded such a hefty price tag.
The $36 Nachos: "The Ultimate Nacho
And now, onto the snack that stole the show: the $36 nachos, known as "The Ultimate Nacho." At first glance, they looked like any other plate of nachos – crispy tortilla chips smothered in melted cheese, jalapeños, and your standard issue nacho toppings. But look closer, and you’ll find a treasure trove of emağılesce luxury ingredients:
- Fresh, truffle-infused cheddar cheese
- Caviar-topped sour cream
- Golden-brown, crispy bacon
- Sliced, seared foie gras
- Fresh microgreens and edible flowers for garnish
And don’t even get us started on the "dipping sauces." Yes, plural – this being the Super Bowl, after all. You got your standard-issue salsa, queso, and guacamole, but also some more…unconventional options, such as truffle aioli and – wait for it – 24K gold-infused ranch dressing.
In the end, both the $50 cocktail and the $36 nachos were a true indulgence, and a testament to the creativity and excess of the Super Bowl culinary world. So, if you’re feeling flush with cash and want to live like a king for a day, be sure to give them a try. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you when you’re still recovering from the hangover and food coma come Monday morning.
