Donald Trump isn’t using his billions to pick up the booze tab at his election-night party — and Hillary Clinton isn’t shelling out for drinks either.
Both presidential candidates opted for cash bars at their respective New York bashes — with Trump charging Manhattan drink prices that started at $10 for a domestic beer while Clinton was billing a more modest $8 for mixed drinks.
The Republican nominee’s cash-only bar at his Hilton Hotel bash in Midtown only included four beer options including Coors Light, Budweiser and Blue Moon. Heineken, the only imported beer available, was $11 — just one dollar less than the lager costs at Yankee Stadium.
“Sometimes they’re higher,” a hotel bartender told The Post.

There were also $13 mixed drinks and two wine options — a California Chardonnay and a California Cabernet Sauvignon, which were served in plastic cups.
Even non-alcoholic drinks were pricey, with the Hilton charging $7 for a soda.
Trump did pony up the money for an open bar in the VIP section, which had a stack of 50 “Make America Great Again” red hats available on one of the cocktail tables.
Over at the Javits Center, Hillary supporters were shelling out $8 for wine and various mixed drinks including vodka sodas and gin and tonics.
“They give you lots of vodka,” one tipsy Clinton fan said gleefully.
