Monday morning doesn't stand a chance against one Washington State man, who ordered the world's most expensive Starbucks drink complete with a heart attack-inducing amount of caffeine to boot.

Beau Chevassus wrangled the help of the entire staff at his local Washington State Starbucks to put together the record-breaking beverage. When all was said and done, his "Quadriginoctuple Frap" set him back $47.30--shattering the previous record of $23.60.

The drink had 48 shots of espresso in a mocha frappuccino, plus a ton of add-ons: soy mocha drizzle, matcha powder, protein powder, caramel brulee topping, strawberries, two bananas, caramel drizzle, frappuccino chips and vanilla bean.

After the bemused cashier rings him up, rattling off each ingredient, Chevassus delivers a gleeful "We did it! We did it!" straight to camera.

As far as the harried baristas, Chevassus brought them donuts by way of a thanks.
