00:00Do you like it to try?
00:01Mm-hmm.
00:08Hey, why not?
00:12Oh, perfect!
00:14Welcome to Bottoms Up.
00:16With LBF.
00:18And Dave Falcone.
00:19I'm just here to assist.
00:21Okay, so Dolly Parton died and I'm still not over it.
00:25So...
00:26I'm still even so blue-faced.
00:27Shh!
00:28Never tell Lucy.
00:30Why does she need to know?
00:31Why do people need to know?
00:32We actually...
00:32I don't think that people need to know a lot of things that they're knowing.
00:37But...
00:38This is what you need to know.
00:39This is amazing.
00:40You need to know Dolly Parton's drink.
00:41It's the Dirt Road Martini.
00:43I looked it up.
00:43I wish I knew about this.
00:45Well, guess what?
00:46When I was in my tea phase, this would have been perfect.
00:50Okay, so here's what it calls for.
00:51It calls for unsweetened tea, which I made this afternoon.
00:55It calls for the juice...
00:56You've made your own unsweetened tea?
00:59Yeah.
01:01This is...
01:02I don't know how to pronounce this.
01:04Giard...
01:04Do that for me.
01:06Giardini...
01:07Whatever.
01:07It's like just...
01:08Wait, I want to try it now.
01:09Pickled vegetables.
01:11Giardiniere!
01:12No, it's not.
01:12It's like nothing.
01:13Whatever.
01:13Whatever.
01:15And then vodka.
01:17And then...
01:18Spanish queen olives and pickled vegetables.
01:21I'm just going to do the pickled vegetables.
01:22Okay.
01:22All you need is the brine, right?
01:24Exactly.
01:25Because the brine is basically taking place of...
01:27This is Dirt Road Martini.
01:30This is really recorded, correct?
01:32Let me check.
01:34Yeah.
01:35It's just...
01:35I don't trust your work.
01:43And so...
01:44Two ounces of vodka.
01:48That's not quite two, but...
01:50Oh, you're fine.
01:52I don't trust your work.
01:54And so...
01:55And so...
01:56If I'm ordering a drink from this bar...
01:58Two ounces of unsweetened tea.
02:01You know what I'm happy about?
02:03That I made it fresh?
02:04I'm happy that we remembered to turn off the air conditioner this time.
02:07I know.
02:08Ridiculous.
02:09The loudest things in the effing world.
02:10A noise in the background.
02:11One and a half teaspoons or a quarter of an ounce splash of this brine.
02:17Brine.
02:18So...
02:18Is this a fourth?
02:20Up to that...
02:21See that line inside?
02:22There's a line inside.
02:23That's a fourth.
02:24That's a fourth.
02:25Okay.
02:26Okay, good.
02:27There you go.
02:28Smells good.
02:29And then...
02:30I like Dolly's style.
02:32Da da da.
02:33On sweet nice tea.
02:34Stir it until well chilled.
02:35Ready?
02:37See?
02:37She knows.
02:38You stir a martini.
02:39Mm-hmm.
02:41This is like a...
02:41Basically, it's probably very much like a dirty martini, but not super dirty with this
02:47little bit of southern tea to it.
02:49So we're just going to stir this.
02:51Don't want it to be too watery, but whatever.
02:54Give it a good stir.
02:56Yeah.
02:56Give it a good stir.
02:57See?
02:57I did some handiwork here.
02:59What?
03:00You are doing great.
03:02You have really developed your skills.
03:04Look at this.
03:05You're like a pro.
03:06Look at that.
03:07I can do it while talking.
03:09All right.
03:09So I chilled the glass because I've been taught and heaven forbid I don't listen to Dave.
03:14I'm just going to toss this ice, which is wasteful.
03:18It served a purpose.
03:19Here's what I need.
03:20Not wasteful.
03:21I need two things from you.
03:22Yes, ma'am.
03:23I need a strainer.
03:24Oh, I'm prepared.
03:25And then he's like, I got one for you.
03:26Oh, and while you're at it, I need a toothpick.
03:32Listen, I'm bringing some, what was Dolly Parton's character's name on 9 to 5?
03:39I'm bringing some of that energy.
03:41I'm bringing, like, Mr. Hart.
03:43I'll make you into a, I'll change you from a rooster into a hand with one shot.
03:50Dora Lee.
03:50That was her name.
03:51Oh, yeah.
03:52Oh, interesting.
03:53Okay.
03:53It's not what I would have chosen, but whatever.
03:55No, no, no, no.
03:56You're going to double strain it.
03:57I'm going to use this.
03:59Oh, okay.
03:59I got you.
04:00Okay.
04:00Did you get me a toothpick?
04:01No, I didn't get you a toothpick.
04:03You didn't hear me.
04:03Careful of that.
04:04You're going to have to do it like this.
04:06Okay.
04:06Okay.
04:07You can use two hands.
04:08I'm going to help you.
04:09This is teamwork.
04:10I got it.
04:10While you're just standing there, can you just go get me a toothpick?
04:14Oh, now I'm useless.
04:15Now I'm just a runner.
04:17Toothpick.
04:17Toothpick.
04:18Toothpick.
04:19You need a toothpick?
04:20I need a toothpick.
04:20I got a toothpick for you right here.
04:21No.
04:22Look at this.
04:22It's right behind you.
04:23You want the red one?
04:24Yeah.
04:24I want the one with the heart.
04:26For Mr. Heart from 95.
04:28Oh, aren't you good?
04:29I don't know if I have any candy.
04:32I see it.
04:33Here it is.
04:34You got it.
04:34Mr. Heart.
04:35Okay.
04:36And then we're just going to garnish this sucker with some vegetables.
04:39I like the color.
04:40Oh.
04:41You know, we're fun like that.
04:43So you just put a little cauliflower in there.
04:44Sure, why not?
04:45This is a diet drink, by the way, because we've got some carrots.
04:51And we've got, I think, the olive.
04:53Who knew?
04:54The Dirt Road Martini.
04:55Dolly Parton's favorite.
04:57It's getting kind of in here with my hands.
04:59Yeah.
04:59I mean, really.
05:00God, if you ever saw that going on in a restaurant, you'd be like, not coming back here.
05:04Do we do it like this?
05:05I think you do.
05:06Or do.
05:07I think you do, but the folks need to see it.
05:12Can you see it?
05:13That's beautiful, LBF.
05:15Thank you so much.
05:17Cheers.
05:17Bottoms up.
05:18This is yummy.
05:19Here.
05:19You've got to try that.
05:21Do I get to try it?
05:22Mm-hmm.
05:29Hey, why not?
05:31The Dirt Road Martini.
05:32There's no vermouth or anything like that in there.
05:35Hmm.
05:36Not according to Dolly Parton.
05:38It's that unsweetened tea.
05:40Yeah.
05:41It just smooths it all.
05:42Smooths it right out.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44That's good.
05:45Cheers.
05:46Here's to Dolly.
05:46You can always add a little extra brine if you want some extra kick.
05:51Maybe.
05:53I like that.
05:54I like that.
05:55Dirty Road Martini.
05:56Bottoms up, everybody.
05:57Bottoms up.
05:58Here's to Dolly.
05:58Have a good day.
