"  When Starbucks introduced the 31-ounce Trenta earlier this year, the behemoth was met with numerous analogies meant to illustrate just how much coffee one of these colossal cups could hold. It was almost twice the size of the human bladder. It could hold the contents of an entire bottle of wine. Now joining the ranks of the Trenta, the 7-11 Super Big Gulp, and McDonald&amp;#039;s defunct supersized sodas comes an even bigger beverage, and one a lot more potent.

Dirty Martini says that the new libation is geared toward the capital&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;intrepid cocktail lovers&amp;quot; who require some relaxation from the stress of life in the District. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s said that everything is bigger in Texas. Not necessarily,&amp;quot; says a press release announcing the cocktail&amp;#039;s debut. &amp;quot;In D.C., we work hard, we play hard. We need leisure time.&amp;quot; More from Delish: Best Martini Recipes While it may be the largest mixed drink in D.C., the Big Dirty isn&amp;#039;t alone. Margaritas, often called &amp;quot;Jumbos&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Monster&amp;quot; are available in 32-, 40-, or even 46-ounce portions around the country, and in St. Louis, the Lucas Park Grille, offers a 48-ounce size of any of its signature martinis, at a comparatively affordable $60. The Big Dirty will set you back $79.99. But given that martini style drinks are often almost straight alcohol, the drink, like the tab, is probably best split among friends.
