The race is on to see if the world's most expensive cocktail is being sold in Ireland.
A Belfast hotel is awaiting notification from the Guinness Book of Records about its most extravagant tipple, which will set you back £750.
The newly-built Merchant Hotel in the Cathedral Quarter says it has acquired an extremely rare bottle of 17-year-old Wray and Nephew Rum, one of the key ingredients of the Mai Tai cocktail.
The rum which motivated its creation was a "fine, golden, medium bodied" variety from Kingston in Jamaica.
Across the border, and only thirsty beneficiaries of Ireland's Celtic Tiger economy may be able to afford a cocktail on offer at a Dublin hotel.
The "Minted" cocktail - a vanilla and chocolate Martini - is on sale at the Mint Bar in the five-star hotel at College Green in the city centre. It costs 500 euro (about £340).
It also includes vanilla-infused vodka, 200-year-old cognac and flakes of 23-carat gold.
