A Washington, D.C. bar is offering a new cocktail named after the adult-film star President Trump’s lawyer reportedly paid money to keep from discussing a sexual encounter with Trump.

The Brighton, a bar in D.C.’s “The Wharf” development, announced the drink in a tweet Saturday.

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Michael Cohen, an attorney for the Trump Organization at the time and now Trump’s personal lawyer, arranged for Stephanie Clifford, known in the industry as Daniels, to receive $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement one month before the 2016 presidential election.

Clifford had previously told sources interviewed by the newspaper that she had a consensual sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, a year after he and Melanie Trump were married. Cohen told the Journal in a statement that Trump “once again vehemently denies” the encounter, but did not comment on the alleged $130,000 payment.
