Nothing beats a free drink, but 50-cent cocktails are almost just as good. So get your quarters ready because the Beverly Wilshire's BLVD is shaking up 50-cent martinis.

Of course, there's a catch. The cheapo cocktails will only be available for 19 minutes and 61 seconds each night, starting at midnight. So drink up fast.

The martini special celebrates the Beverly Wilshire's 50th anniversary; the hotel opened in 1961—hence the 19 minutes and 61 seconds. It's a great discount, since the martinis usually go for $18.

Belly up to the bar to sip martinis like the Mikimoto, with watermelon-mandarin-infused Ultimat Vodka with Cointreau and lychee, or the film-inspired Black Swan, a version of the Manhattan with Italian-cherry-infused moonshine whiskey, homemade sweet and sour, bitters and egg white foam.

If you want to jump on the 50-cent libations, they will be available at BLVD through May 10.
