For the man who has everything: a hamper worth £26,000
Words: Rory FH Smith
Yes, that’s right, gentlemen, there really is a gift for those who have absolutely everything. What you see before you is a hamper. But it isn’t just any food basket – it’s quite literally the Rolls-Royce of hampers, and it’s exclusively for cocktails.
What is it?
Created to celebrate the launch of the Rolls-Royce Dawn – the convertible variant of the Wraith – the Rolls-Royce Cocktail Hamper is a follow up from Rolls’ equally exclusive Picnic Hamper.
What’s it for?
Designed for customers who ‘enjoy something beyond the traditional glass of Champagne,’ the hamper comes equipped with four handmade tumblers, each finished with a platinum halo, an American walnut muddler and a ‘RR’ monogramed strainer to name but a few instruments.
Contained within a hidden draw sits a specially commissioned book on Rolls’ recommended cocktail recipes, created in partnership with The Dorchester and 45 Park Lane hotel.
What about drinking and driving?
No, just because it’s a Rolls-Royce sponsored cocktail doesn’t mean you can then clamber in behind the wheel. We’d suggest a chauffeur.
Where can I get one?
Notoriously hard to come by with only 15 in existence worldwide, HR Owen currently has one for sale in its Rolls-Royce Mayfair showroom.
How much will it cost?
Right, here’s the bit you’ll need to be seated for – preferably in your Rolls-Royce with a stiff drink in hand. Rolls’ Cocktail Hamper could be yours for a handsome £26,000. Best get saving for the picnic season, gents.
