American bar owners are showing their support for Ukraine by renaming Russian-associated cocktails.

Many businesses around the world are replacing Moscow Mules with Kyiv Mules, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"It's just a little token of acknowledgment to the Ukrainian people," Christina Cruz, the owner of a Miami Beach Club told local News Chanel. "We're just trying to raise awareness, and to let people know, we're in support of Ukraine," she added.

A Moscow Muleis a cocktail that includes vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Cruz told the outlet her bar doesn't serve Russian vodka so is keeping all ingredients the same for the Kyiv Mule.

Darek Pachezy , the owner of New York Fine Restaurant also introduced the Kyiv Mule to his menu in recent days, per CNN.

The owners' actions follow decisions by some of the US's biggest retailers to take Russian vodka off stores shelves. Total Wines, Kroger, Publix, and Sam's Club among others recently decided to do so in an effort to stand with Ukraine.

Last week, the governors of Florida,Texas and Utah called for Russian product to be removed from the store and restaurants in support of Ukraine.

Gov. Spencer J. Cox asked the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to make a similar decision.
