Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) speaks to a reporter as he arrives to the Capitol for a series of amendment votes regarding agriculture and defense appropriation bills on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

A Washington restaurant is toasting now-former Rep. George Santos’s expulsion from Congress by hawking a new cocktail marking the New York Republican’s ouster.

Sticky Fingers Diner, in the District’s H Street Corridor, says it’s selling “Adios Santos” grapefruit margaritas beginning Friday.

“Diners can toast to Congress agreeing on something for a change,” Doron Petersan, a chef and the eatery’s founder, said in a statement.

The cocktail celebrating Santos getting the congressional boot comes after the House voted Friday to expel the 35-year-old lawmaker, who’s facing federal indictment on 23 counts of wire fraud, identity theft and other campaign finance charges.

One dollar of each $10 “Adios Santos” drink sold will be donated to the activist group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, according to Sticky Fingers, in order to “help turn the grift into a gift.”

The Santos expulsion-inspired cocktails will be available through the weekend.
