Caddies Bar and Grill at 4922 Cordell Avenue in downtown Bethesda has joined a growing movement to damage Russian exports in announcing it will no longer purchase or serve Russian vodka. The announcement came hours after the Montgomery County government liquor monopoly, which controls all liquor sales in the county, stated it would stop selling Russian spirits. Caddies is going a step further, by renaming all of its Russia-themed cocktails with pro-Ukraine monikers.
Beginning now, the Moscow Mule at Caddies is the "Kyiv Mule," the White Russian is the "White Ukrainian," and the Black Russian is the "Black Ukrainian." In addition, Caddies will donate a portion of the proceeds from sales of those renamed cocktails to the Ukrainian Children's Emergency Relief Fund.

This one-upmanship of virtue signaling is nauseating.
Very much of an "I'm helping" vibe here.
Correct. And why wasn't the Moscow Mule an issue before now as it should have?
