We know, we know: it’s a little early to be talking about booze. But hey, according to a press release from the Dirty Martini, some of you people are probably already drunk! The Connecticut Avenue restaurant has launched a new, 48-ounce cocktail, in order to satiate Washington’s “intrepid cocktail lovers” who “need big leisure time.”

Says the announcement:

It’s said that everything is bigger in Texas. Not necessarily. In DC, we work hard, we play hard. We need big leisure time. For those intrepid cocktail lovers, Dirty Martini debuts the ‘Big Dirty,’ the largest cocktail in DC. This 48 ounces of any cocktail on the menu from the signature classic dirty Martini to concoctions like the refreshing A+A=T – Absolut Wild Tea, fresh lemon juice, honey, homemade pomegranate gomme, egg whites and lemon bitters or the ITIS – a smoky blending of Bulleit, homemade smoked peach puree, sweet vermouth, tabasco vanilla syrup and old fashioned smokehouse bitters.

Just to be totally clear: we’re talking about a three-pound cocktail here.

Ordering one of these cirrhosis bombs will set you back $79.99. I assume that you’re meant to share a “Big Dirty” among several friends — but hey, I wouldn’t want to be the kind of person to tell someone who works hard and plays hard what to do with their liver.
