Dubai, a city known for its grandeur and world records, made headlines again with the launch of the world’s most expensive mocktail at Jimmydixs Restaurant & Lounge, Barcelo Hotel, Al Jaddaf. Priced at AED 12,099, the mocktail was unveiled during the restaurant’s grand opening, marking a new milestone in luxury hospitality.
The first serving of this opulent beverage was awarded through a lucky draw to Mr. Yao Lei, Executive Secretary General of the Arab-Sino International Communication Association. He received not only the mocktail but also two starters wrapped in EU-certified 24 Karat gold flakes and gold dust. The lucky draw was conducted by the Guest of Honour, Mr. Ankur Agarwal, Chairman of BNW Developments, in the presence of diplomats, influencers, and global media.
Crafted by Mr. Fredrick, Bar Manager at Jimmydixs, the mocktail redefines luxury. It blends fresh cranberry and pomegranate juice, mint leaves, sea salt from the Dead Sea, sparkling water with 24 Karat edible gold dust, and 23.99 Karat EU-certified gold foil. It also includes packaged edible gold water and is served in a handcrafted pure silver glass, gifted to the guest as a collectible.
According to Mr. Fredrick, “Jimmydixs has achieved global recognition by serving the world’s most expensive mocktail, enriched with certified 24K edible gold.”
Mr. Yao Lei, as the first guest globally to receive the drink, remarked, “Dubai never ceases to amaze. Enjoying this extraordinary mocktail was truly a privilege. It represents art, culture, and international unity.”
The visionaries behind this concept are Ms. Sucheta Sharma, Founder of Boho Café Group UAE, and her sister Mrs. Urvashi. Speaking about the launch, Ms. Sharma said, “Dubai is a global canvas for ambition. We wanted to create not just a beverage, but an experience that reflects prestige and elegance.”
This launch reinforces Dubai’s reputation as a global hub for innovation and non-alcoholic luxury experiences. With the rise in demand for halal fine dining and premium mocktails, Dubai continues to lead the Middle East in culinary innovation.
Following this success, Jimmydixs is in talks with luxury stakeholders in Qatar, London, and Singapore to offer limited-edition VIP mocktail experiences to dignitaries and luxury travelers worldwide.
Jimmydixs Restaurant & Lounge, situated within Barcelo Hotel Al Jaddaf, is a flagship destination under the Boho Café Group UAE. Known for premium presentation and luxury dining, the group, led by Ms. Sucheta Sharma, specializes in experiential hospitality and culinary creativity.
