Free Eldridge Cocktails Still Too Pricey

The list price for the Eldridge's eponymous cocktail is a steep $32, but for a cocktail made with Armand de Brignac and real gold sprinkles, isn't it worth it? Not according to ChiChi 212, who was a guest of the owner last Thursday night and was given one on the house. The outcome? Meh! The Chi says "... it was delicious. But I was a tad disappointed. Now I don’t know what I was expecting but for $32 I wanted a takeover of my tastebuds. But all I had was a tasty glass of champagne." Imagine how should we have felt if she had to pay? We recommend attending Champagne school so she can understand what it means to be given real Armand de Brignac. We mean, come on. It's Armand with gold flakes. Let's respect the cocktail here.

Not to be rude, I'm being serious here: do the two people in that photo have downs syndrome? Their face is all out of wack.

Hey Scott,

If you'd like to pay for me to attend champagne school, I would LOVE to go.

Armand de Brignac is the most overpriced, crappy Champagne on the market. I wouldn't wash my toilet with it.

Champagne school for Brittany!

champagne is crap.

Any champagne that needs the hip-hop industry to assure the rest of the world that it is indeed "quality" is not worth the price. Stick with Louis Roederer Cristal or my personal favorite LVMH Dom Perignon.
