What do you do to celebrate if you just won your first Major at the US Open? Well, Andy Murray and 30 of his guests went to the trendy NY restaurant, Hakkasan and racked up a sizeable bill of $6448.00.
If you look at the tab closely, you'll see that the drinks contributed $1408.00 to the total bill, and out of all those fancy drinks including "Green Destinies" and "Zesty Martinis" (Judy was that you??), the only thing Andy drank was the $6.00 Lemon Soda! I guess when you have to be up at the crack of dawn for your media blitz it's a good idea to stay sober, but you would have thought the Scot would have had at least one drink!
In 1999, Andy would have been 12, and I'm pretty sure that is the age I had my last lemon soda. At least the rest of his party seemed to have a mighty good time....
