In a dazzling display of luxury and innovation, Dubai has once again made headlines by setting a new world record — this time for launching the world’s most expensive mocktail at the iconic Jimmydixs Restaurant & Lounge, located within the Barcelo Hotel.
The extravagant non-alcoholic beverage, dubbed “Elixir of the Emirates”, was officially unveiled in a star-studded ceremony attended by celebrities, influencers, hospitality leaders, and officials from the Guinness World Records. Priced at a staggering $10,000 USD, the mocktail blends rare and exotic ingredients sourced from around the world, including saffron-infused rose water, blue lotus extract, and gold-dusted Omani dates, served in a custom-crafted crystal glass adorned with real diamonds.
Restaurant owner and visionary behind the creation, Rashid Al Mansoori, said, “Dubai is the city of dreams and innovation. We wanted to offer something that celebrates our culture, luxury, and flair for breaking boundaries. The ‘Elixir of the Emirates’ is not just a drink — it’s an experience.”
The record was officially certified on-site by a Guinness World Records representative, who praised the city’s continued creativity in pushing the limits of hospitality and presentation.
The launch event also highlighted Dubai’s commitment to setting trends in global luxury dining. With musical performances, a gourmet tasting menu, and a dramatic unveiling of the drink served on a golden platter by a team of butlers, it was an affair to remember.
Jimmydixs Restaurant & Lounge, already known for its immersive nightlife and upscale cuisine, is expected to draw international attention as connoisseurs and collectors flock to sample — and possibly purchase — the world’s priciest mocktail.
As Dubai continues to dazzle the world with its larger-than-life offerings, the “Elixir of the Emirates” marks yet another chapter in the city’s journey of breaking records and redefining luxury.
