ON A HOT NIGHT

One's thoughts are easily turned to the delights of Bombay and tonic over ice especially if it comes out of this luscious container, photos of which I have emailed to Miss O'Dyne lounging on the patio at Chez Copperwitch.


This is the Revelation Bottle designed by Rashid Karim, fashioned by crystal maker Baccarat and bejewelled by Garrad's.

The top of the bottle is set with sapphires and diamonds. The 10 principal hand-cut facets represent the 10 ingredients that make this gin soooo special. It's a snip at $200,000 a bottle.


It's the first of a five piece collection. While it's pricey, a portion of the profits go to a children's charity that performs cleft operations in third world countries.

Jayne, you realize that two drinks later you wouldn't be able to lift that fancy bottle.

The bottle does look like it would be awkward to handle....I'll stick with my can of pepsi...

River, if I could afford the bottle I could afford the butler for the pouring off.
I've just seen the temperatures over in neck of the woods, get a bigger pepsi.
