THE ROLLS-ROYCE OF COCKTAIL KITS

FEELING PARTICULARLY flush and looking to blow some cash?  For consumers with a spare £26,366 (US $38,54O) burning a hole in their pockets, Rolls-Royce has created a limited edition custom-made cocktail hamper.  The luxury car maker created just 15 of the kits, which take eight weeks to make.  Each one is handcrafted from American walnut wood and the same leather the company uses to line its car interiors.  During the design process, Rolls-Royce teamed up with Goodwood-based experts from the Dorchester Collection’s London hotels to ensure the hamper contained all the necessary elements needed to create a luxurious cocktail-making experience.  It includes: four handmade decanters, four tumblers, a cocktail shaker, an ice bucket, ice tongs, a bottle opener, a knife, two sharing plates, napkins, six cocktail sticks, two food containers, four straws, a stirring spoon, a jigger, a muddler, a crusher, an atomizer, a strainer, a glass serving tray and a chopping board.
