Mai Tai with Appleton Estate Limited Edition 50-year-old Jamaica rum ($725): Though “historically appropriate,” according to owner Martin Cate, making a mai tai with the oldest rum currently commercially available in the U.S. isn't cheap.

The Centurion ($400): For those who enjoy their fine libations with a background of strippers, the Hustler club offers this combination of Louis XIII cognac and 150-year Grand Marnier. Pinching pennies? There's also the Platinum Blonde ($45), made with Patrón Platinum, Cointreau, and pineapple juice.

King of the Orkneys ($300): The private club atop a men's clothier crafted a luxe twist on the Bobby Burns: Highland Park 40, Carpano Antica and Angostura and Reagan's orange bitters served over an ice ball in a handmade Match Pewter glass. (The fashionable folks in the shop downstairs even dressed the Scottish beverage for the fall, on a Harris Tweed coaster and a bed of Dormeuil Derby jacketing fabric.)

The World’s Greatest Martini ($125): We wonder if Kanye ordered Kim this extravagant cocktail following his equally-elaborate engagement at AT&T Park (the famous duo reportedly stayed at the St. Regis, upstairs). Contents include Nolet’s Reserve Gin, Sutton Cellars dry vermouth and Bitter Truth Orange Bitters.

The Roosevelt ($35): This new take on the classic Sazerac (named for where it was purportedly invented, The Roosevelt New Orleans hotel) is made with 2 oz. of 11-year WhistlePig, turbinado sugar simple syrup, Angostura and Peychaud's and Sorcière absinthe rinse. Alexander's used to use 15-year Pappy van Winkle ($55), but no longer stocks it, so consider this a discount.

Fleur de Lys Champagne Cocktail/The Impressionist (~$28): While listed at $28 online, these fancy French elixirs have been taken off-menu (and dropped in price by a few bucks, according to a hostess). The Fleur de Lys is pollinated with 23-carat gold flakes and filled with Grand Marnier Centenaire, Martell Cordon Bleu, Perrier-Jouët, and Brut Royal. An equally pricey alternative is The Impressionist: Gosset champagne, a sugar cube with orange bitters, crème de violette and Kübler absinthe.

The Millionaire ($20): With all the pricey whiskeys on Nihon's walls, it's not surprising a few have made their way to the cocktail menu. This concoction features George T. Stagg 140º bourbon, plus orange and pomegranate liqueurs and lemon. Also available is a $31 Rusty Nail, with Yamazaki 18 year subbing in for the Scotch.

Pineapple Royale ($18): Hidden below the Fairmont, the much-loved SF icon recently got a facelift for its cocktail menu. It now offers a slightly pricier beverage than the standard mai tai, with aged rum, brandy, Cointreau and fresh pineapple juice swimming in a freshly-cut pineapple.
