A pop-up bar in Washington D.C. is pulling its controversial “Pill Cosby†cocktail from the menu following an outcry on social media and backlash from locals.
On Monday, the owners of Diet Starts Monday, the watering hole/restaurant/retail shop that served the cocktail, has since apologized and promised to show better judgment in the future.
The drink itself — a tequila and hibiscus cocktail garnished with empty pill capsules — takes its moniker from disgraced comedian Bill Cosby, who has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting dozens of women over the course of his career. But according to Washingtonian, which spoke with Diet Starts Monday co-owner Davin Gentry prior to the backlash, the drink was originally intended to educate customers on the dangers of druggings at drinking establishments.
