On Friday, December 1, the Washington, D.C.-based restaurant, Sticky Fingers Diner, introduced the “Adios Santos” cocktail.
The limited-edition grapefruit margaritas will be available to customers beginning Friday for $10. With each sale of the specialty cocktail, one dollar will be donated to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). According to the organization’s website, CREW is “a leading ethics watchdog organization that takes relentless legal and investigative actions holding people in power to account.”
“We’re serving up a Santos sendoff cocktail for disgraced Republican House member, George Santos,” a statement from the restaurant reads.
“To celebrate, we’ve mixed up an ‘Adios Santos’ [g]rapefruit [m]argarita [and] will being offering it all weekend for $10. To help turn the grift into a gift, $1 of each cocktail will go to CREW, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.”
The debut of “Adios Santos” coincides with the expulsion of now former U.S. Representative George Santos. Santos was ousted by a vote of 311-114 after being accused of fraud, money laundering and other various crimes.
“A new precedent had to be set because someone lied and frauded their way to the House of Representatives — it should have never happened,” U.S. Representative Anthony D’Esposito said, according to NBC News.
“Santos should have held himself accountable. He should have resigned when he had the chance.”
