"The extravagantly dubbed Versailles Velour - an opulent concoction imbued with five wallop-packing prestige spirits - is even adorned with gold leaf, like a collaboration between King Midas and Willy Wonka."
"Bartender Victor Dedushaj told The Post he was actually inspired by a client with 'exquisite taste' who wanted to impress his hot chocolate-loving wife."
"Dedushaj infused the choc-tail with Mozart Dark Chocolate Liqueur, Bailey's Irish Cream, Kahlúa, fresh espresso, steamed milk and orange bitters, plus delicately heated Grand Marnier Quintessence and Hennessy Richard cognac."
"The coup de grace is a velvety layer of shlag - German shorthand for whipped cream - that's topped with 24-karat edible gold leaf for a little 'extra decadence,' per the barman."
Benjamin's Steakhouse in Midtown has introduced a lavish three-tiered hot cocoa cocktail named Versailles Velour, priced at $1,000. This extravagant drink includes five premium spirits and is topped with gold leaf. Inspired by a client's desire to impress his wife, bartender Victor Dedushaj crafted the drink using Mozart Dark Chocolate Liqueur, Bailey's Irish Cream, Kahlúa, fresh espresso, steamed milk, orange bitters, Grand Marnier Quintessence, and Hennessy Richard cognac. The drink's high cost is largely due to the expensive spirits and the addition of 24-karat edible gold leaf.
