Dirty Martini Lounge, at 1223 Connecticut Ave., recently debuted the giant cocktails, the largest in town, for those who work hard and desperately need to drink harder.

“It’s said that everything is bigger in Texas. Not necessarily. In DC, we work hard, we play hard. We need big leisure time,” says the lounge’s press release.

The martinis come in every concoction imaginable — whether it’s signature cocktails such as the “Absolut Wild Tea” (lemon juice, honey, homemade pomegranate gomme, egg whites, lemon bitters) or so-called classics like “Hell’s Pact,” an adaptation of “Satan’s Whiskers.” And if you’re nice, the bartenders sometimes mix up cocktails suiting your wishes.

The “Big Dirty” runs at a whopping $79.99. Guess we really do work too hard to be ballin' on a budget.
