The Purple Turtle bar in Reading’s town centre has created a new shot in aid of Ukraine.
It has been named the ‘F*ck Putin’.
The bar posted on social media inviting patrons to try the drink.
Stuart McNaught, the bar’s general manager, says that the public’s response to the shot has been amazing.
“We started selling them on Friday, and we’d sold out by Saturday.
“We ended up having to buy extra stock from the supermarket.”
The drink combines Advocaat and Blue Curacao to create a layered shot which resembles the Ukrainian flag.
Mr McNaught said: “The flavour is quite sweet, and people keep coming back for them.”
The shots cost £3 each, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal.
Mr McNaught said that the Purple Turtle had been championing noble causes for 20 years.
He continued: “We’re a community venue, and everybody is part of the community, across genders, across cultures, everybody is a VIP here.”
The ‘F*ck Putin’ is available at The Purple Turtle on Gun Street, with proceeds going towards the Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal.
