rent + alcohol + labor when it comes to a regular alcoholic cocktail, but one of those things is missing from the equation. First of all rent + labor is by far the highest cost of those three when running a bar. Secondly the sort of alcohol most places use in most cocktails is pretty cheap, and fresh exotic fruits, berries and other ingredients can be pretty expensive. I wouldn't be surprised if the raw ingredient costs of these cocktails are basically the same as most other cocktails.
