We tried the $150 'platinum' doughnut that's infused with tequila - here's how it tasted

Introducing the next level in luxury desserts: the $150 silver-and-platinum-coated tequila doughnut.

Yes, you read that right.

The Patrón Platinum Donut is the creation of chef Björn DelaCruz of Manila Social Club, a Filipino restaurant in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. DelaCruz previously developed the Golden Cristal Ube Donut, a champagne-and-gold-foil treat. That one was priced at $100 a pop.

Platinum is even more precious than gold, though, so DelaCruz decided to push the envelope even further.

Curious to see what a platinum-crusted pastry might actually taste like, Business Insider attended a taste test for the new pastry.

"It's not like any other doughnut you've ever had before," DelaCruz warned us before we dug in.
