Regulars at Caddies bar and grill in Bethesda, Maryland can still get a classic cocktail made with vodka, ginger beer and lime, but it now comes with a different name -- a Kyiv Mule.

Caddies' Mules were already popular, and in the first day of their redubbing Heckman said people had already come in specifically to order the cocktail.
