New York, New York – 20 June 2018 – Serendipity 3, a New York-based restaurant, has added the Guinness World Records title of Most expensive milkshake to their expansive menu of record-breaking delicacies. Becoming part of the menu today, on National Vanilla Milkshake Day, Serendipity 3’s LUXE Milkshake set this new record title at a value of $100 USD.
The luxurious concoction is served in a custom milkshake glass adorned with over 3,000 premium Swarovski® crystals designed by Master Artist, Kellie DeFries, the “Crystal Ninja.” Watch here for a step-by-step guide for the making of the milkshake with Serendipity 3’s Creative Chef, Joe Calderone.
Each ingredient was individually selected by Joe for its unique and delectable qualities:
- Jersey Milk – Made from cows originally bred in the Channel Islands, which are popular for the high butterfat content.
- Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream – Sourced from premium slow-grown, sun-cured vanilla beans.
- Devonshire Luxury Clotted Cream – Produced in Devon Cornwall, England, this thick, rich cream is made from heating fine milk until a thick layer of golden cream forms on the surface
- Madagascar Vanilla Beans – As the most labor intensive to grow, the Madagascar vanilla plants, Vanilla Planifolia, take 1-3 years to produce beans that are intense in flavor.
- 23K edible gold – This pure and edible gold creates a glimmering, golden sparkle when mixed with the other ingredients.
- Whipped Cream – A grass-fed cream, infused with a simple syrup of sugar and vanilla.
- Le Cremose Baldizzone (Donkey Caramel Sauce) – This rare sauce that is sweet and unique in flavor is made from Venezuelan cocoa, Piedmont hazelnuts, fresh Donkey Milk, and cane sugar.
- Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries – Produced in Luxardo, Italy, these cherries are dense and chewy with a sweet-tart flavor made with prized sour Marasca cherries and preserved in the fruit’s famed liquor.
“It is such a pleasure and such an honor to be awarded the Guinness World Records title for Most expensive milkshake. I am thrilled to add this accomplishment to our growing list of record-breaking food items. It was exciting to develop such a unique recipe and I hope our customers enjoy every drop of this creamy, rich milkshake,” adds Joe.
This is the seventh Guinness World Records title held by Serendipity 3. They currently hold the records for Most expensive sandwich with their Quintessential Grilled Cheese and Most expensive dessert as their Golden Opulence Sundae dessert is currently valued at $1,000 USD. Serendipity 3 previously held record titles for Most expensive hamburger, Most expensive hot dog, Largest wedding cake, and Largest cup of hot chocolate/cocoa.
