Festive new drinks bring tropical and Irish flair
To mark the milestone, Applebee’s has unveiled two colorful, limited-time drinks crafted with premium spirits and a celebratory twist.
The $6 Emerald Escape channels both Irish luck and island vibes, blending Jameson Irish Whiskey, Malibu Coconut Rum, melon liqueur, blue raspberry, pineapple juice, and lime for a refreshing tropical escape.
The $6 Pricklycane, a playful riff on the classic New Orleans hurricane, features Bacardi Superior Rum, premium lemon sour, and a fruity mix of prickly pear, orange, and pineapple juices.
Both drinks are served in Applebee’s signature Mucho glass and rimmed with shimmering gold sugar. For guests seeking a top-shelf twist, the chain offers optional Vibe Drops, allowing upgrades with pours such as Patrón Silver, Don Julio Reposado, Grey Goose, or Woodford Reserve.
