The DC restaurant also offers up happy hour specials whenever a high-ranking Trump administration official is fired – in addition to their Moscow Muellers.
The Bird DC, a restaurant located in Washington D.C., announced on their Twitter page on Wednesday that they would be offering “$5 Moscow Muellers” whenever Special Prosecutor Bob Mueller “indicts a Trump associate.”

The restaurant also posted that “$5 Moscow Muellers are (inevitably) coming soon to the Bird near you- stay tuned!” on their Facebook page along with a link to an article about the drink special.
The Hill reports that “The drink’s name is a play on the name of the popular ‘Moscow Mule’ cocktail, a drink made with vodka, spiced ginger beer and lime juice served in a copper mug.”
The Bird DC offered the following tweet in response to a question about the drink’s ingredients:
Tumeric infused @BelleIsleShine, lime, simple syrup, ginger beer over ice!

The Washingtonian, a monthly magazine distributed in the Washington DC area, adds that The Bird has also “offered discounted drinks anytime the President fires a senior White House official—at least ever since Anthony Scaramucci got the boot.”
Continuing their report, The Washingtonian adds that the $5 cost for the Moscow Mueller is “at least half the price of their regular cocktails;” and whenever Trump fires a high-ranking administration official, patrons can “Get happy hour cocktails, beers, and wines for $4 from 4 to 7 PM at the bar or on the patio.”
The Washingtonian went into further detail about the firing specials in an August 2017 article, reporting that:
The promotion began when Anthony Scaramucci was fired, and the Bird ran a cocktail special dubbed “the Mooch.” The restaurant’s general manager Stephan Antoniewicz remarked to his bar manager how the White House turnover was so frequent “it’s kind of like when it rains it pours.” The bar manager told him that when he worked at Mellow Mushroom in Charlottesville, the pizzeria offered discounted drinks during every rainstorm. Why not the same special for a political storm?
The Mooch is available for happy hour this week & if it proves to be a HUGE hit we'll be offering it for TEN WHOLE DAYS. #mooch pic.twitter.com/bcfkpPga26
