A woman on TikTok claimed she accidentally ordered a £1,890 cocktail in London, which led to viral videos and skepticism from some.

She initially thought the cocktail was priced at £18.90, but it turned out to be significantly more expensive due to its ingredients.

While the story had a seemingly positive resolution, doubts arose about the accuracy of the events, with discrepancies in the details and the behavior of the bar manager. (Trending: Fox News Star Accused Of Major Scandal)

Lynsey Bennett claimed that she “ordered a £2,000 cocktail, and couldn’t afford to pay for it.”

“I always drink champagne. I rarely drink cocktails,” said Bennett, but felt inspired to “order something a little bit different”.

Bennett said she was given a “huge book to sign” for the cocktail that included Cristal, champagne, a gold leaf and a “30-year-old cognac”.

“They presented the bill for £2,000, and I was like, ‘Uh oh, I can’t afford to pay that,'” recalled Bennett.

“So I presumed it was 18 pounds 90,” she explained.

“It was definitely my mistake, but it was a genuine mistake,” said Bennett.

“This was a five-star hotel, so the manager was so discreet and so wonderful. He completely played it down,” she continued.

“I burst into tears. I was so terribly, terribly upset,” claimed Bennett.

“Surely they would confirm the price with you first?” wrote a commenter.

“Why would anyone make a cocktail with Cristal in the first place?” questioned another X user.

A food and drink critic highlighted these inconsistencies and was unable to verify the story’s authenticity, ultimately casting doubt on the entire incident.

David Ellis, a food and drink critic, said, “I have had questions all day about ‘is this possibly true.’”

“If you see that on a menu, you probably already know that this is not going to be a cheap drink,” explained Ellis.

Ellis said, “The story’s already not really adding up.”

“There’s no way that’s happened twice. It’s just too much money for a hotel to lose,” he continued.

“I cannot say that … it didn’t happen,” said Ellis.

“But what I can say is, she thought she was drinking whiskey when it was brandy, no one gets trained twice for a mistake like that, and nowhere in London can I find a drink like that,” concluded the critic.
