World’s Most Expensive Boozy Hot Chocolate
230 Fifth Rooftop Bar begins its annual transformation to its winter-themed “Igloo Bar” as part of the 2019-2020 season introducing 16 luxury themed igloos. Accompanying the famed structures this year will be the Igloo Bar’s new “230 Fifth King Cocoa”, a 160 oz MAMMOTH beverage concocted by the renowned venue at the New York City sized price of $3,000. Gold shavings, Amedei Porcelana Dark Chocolate (often called the world’s most expensive chocolate), housemade whipped cream, marshmallows, and premium melted cocoas and liquors are just a few ingredients of the shareable hot drink which will include a privatized igloo as well as a bottle of champagne. Reservations for the “King Cocoa Igloo Package” must be made one week in advance as ingredients are individually shipped in for each booking.
Visitors to the Igloo Bar don’t have to break the bank to feel like royalty, as each new igloo will be custom themed to give an authentic experience to guests. Themes include a table game igloo, a cabin igloo, as well as a winter wonderland igloo. Customarily during the winter, the famous rooftop offers Hot Specialty Drinks, red robes, blankets, and infrared heaters to enjoy as guests take in the Igloo Bar’s astounding 360-degree view of Manhattan. Each igloo is transparent and highly insulated, allowing for an unobstructed view and keeping temperatures at a blissful 75° during the winter cold, and is outfitted with seating for up to 14 guests with an indoor fireplace.
The famed Igloo Bar will be introducing the newly designed igloos in the month of December and will be available 7 days a week from open to close (Monday through Friday 2 PM – 4 AM; Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM – 4 AM). Reservations are not required, and there is no minimum spend to enjoy the festivities. The overwhelming consensus proves true once again, from guests domestic and abroad, to first-time visitors or veterans of the establishment, “If you haven’t been to 230 Fifth, you haven’t seen New York.”
