COCKTAILS can be expensive but one punter was left reeling after being handed a bill for nearly \u00a32,000 for ONE drink.<\/p>\n

Lynsey was told her order for a single cocktail in a five-star hotel in London would cost her a staggering \u00a31,890.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lynsey was shocked after learning how much her drink cost – with her husband storming out when he saw the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Lynsey's now-viral TikTok video, which has 1.8 million views, she explains at the time she believed the drink to be priced at \u00a318.90.<\/p>\n

She said: "I had no idea this was \u00a31,890, it was set out on the menu where it said one eight gap nine zero.<\/p>\n

"So I assumed it was \u00a318.90."<\/p>\n

The drink was a combination of Cristal Champagne, a sprinkled gold leaf and 30-year-old whisky – a spirit Lynsey confesses she doesn't even like. <\/p>\n

Lynsey admitted she "started to panic" in the posh hotel as there was no way she could not afford to pay the bill. <\/p>\n

She went up to the "young guy behind the bar" and began to explain the mishap in an attempt to resolve it – but both became more panicked.<\/p>\n

As a result, the manager was called over who Lynsey says was "so discrete and so wonderful".<\/p>\n

Lynsey added: "He was like, 'Look it's fine, don't worry about it, we will sort this out'."<\/p>\n

Lynsey says her nerves were a mess as this happened on the first night of her five-night stay in the hotel.<\/p>\n

She said: "I kept thinking, 'God… If they ask me to pay \u00a32,000 for this cocktail I am going to have an absolute heart attack.'<\/p>\n

"So I avoided the bar like the plague – even though I had to walk past it every day to get to my room."<\/p>\n

Lynsey was visiting London to celebrate the New Year and on New Year's Eve, accompanied by her sister they went back to the bar in the hotel.<\/p>\n

As they walked in they saw the manager who hugged Lynsey and said jokingly: "Ah this is the girl that made us open the Cristal and we had to drink the Cristal."<\/p>\n

Lynsey remained apologetic for the mix-up and asked for the staff member who served the drink to her as he was also panicking at the mistake – to which the manager said he had sacked him.<\/p>\n

Lynsey burst into tears and claimed "it was not the guy's fault" – and offered to pay the \u00a32,000 for the staff member to get his job back.<\/p>\n

The manager said: "Calm down drama queen – we didn't sack him but we had to give him training because this has happened before."<\/p>\n

Lynsey was relieved and enjoyed the rest of her stay even having drinks with the manager and his family at the bar.<\/p>\n

Lynsey's viral TikTok has received lots of comments from viewers who are baffled at how a cocktail could be so expensive.<\/p>\n

One viewer asked: "How can a cocktail cost \u00a32K?"<\/p>\n
