Then you might want to buy a $1,000.00 Mint Julep at the Kentucky Derby this year. Served to you in a 24 carat gold plated cup with a silver straw, this insane drink will be made from Kentucky Bourbon (I'm assuming a very valuable, single-barrel bourbon), Moroccoan mint, Artic ice and sugar from the South Pacific (I don't know if they will sing showtunes to you while you drink it). Oh, and you get to watch master mixologists make it in front of you. Be sure to get yours early, though. They'll only make 50 of them.
It's not all crazy, though. Proceeds will go to a charity that finds homes for old race horses.
Also, if you're looking for just a regular mint julep, appearently the Derby is your annual Hajj. They sell 90,000 regular ones there every year (and by regular, I mean ones served in pewter or silver cups).
