You are probably thinking, no one in their right mind would actually order a drink like that at any sort of respectable establishment.... well, 1. I am not in my right mind, and 2. my favorite watering holes of choice are not respectable... not even close.
But when I want a drink, I want it now and I want it dirty. Filthy Dirty... Like my hott tub!
I have even been known to order my "usual" and ask for a little extra "dirty dirty" on the side (olive juice in a shot glass? don't mind if I do). The looks I get from the bartenders can be ones of horror, fear, and straight confusion, but the smile I have on my face when he slides my martini across the bar and into my hand with a little extra murky and 3 olives speared, makes the embarrassment all worth while. It's the sweet sweet goodness of the Filth, and it's what has me coming back for more... weekly.
Although I am sure this drink is good for my soul given the happiness it brings, it can't be good for my blood pressure given the sodium content, but this is the way I see it : I am about to embark on sailing away from my first quarter century, I'm single, and I am barely holding on to the depths of winter in Seattle, if there is one thing I can count on it's my dirty and I don't give a damn about it.
So, to my partners in crime, Gingham and Miss McCloud, I raise a Dirty to you two!
Cheers!

Q: Why does hot have two t's? Does that make it more EXTREME?!
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you don't have heart disease or blood pressure problems then sodium isn't really bad for you! It exacerbates existing conditions, but won't give you a new one. The joys of having doctor friends who pour salt on everything.
