One DC-area bar has introduced an enormous drink special: a 48 ounce martini. The local watering hole is called the Dirty Martini and will offer this three-pound cocktail. According to the press release from the bar, which was reported on DCist,
"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."
One of these drinks will set you back $79.99. One would assume that they are meant to be shared, but I guess you don't have to.

Yikes! Is the bar working with a cab company too?

Almost certainly this is 48 fl. oz. The weight of the cocktail would depend on the ingredients.
