Featured $6 Mucho Cocktails at Applebee’s
The $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips menu includes two signature cocktails crafted with premium spirits. The Tipsy Cupid combines Smirnoff Vodka, orange liqueur, strawberry and premium lemon sour into a spiked lemonade creation. The new Prickly Ever After Rita features Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Tequila, orange liqueur, lime and prickly pear in a sweet-meets-tart margarita. Both cocktails are garnished with gummi lips and can be upgraded with a Vibe Drop of Grey Goose vodka or Don Julio Reposado tequila respectively.

Applebee’s has expanded its beverage offerings with the new Prickly Melon Rush mocktail for guests seeking a non-alcoholic option. This energizing drink combines Red Bull Watermelon, prickly pear, lime juice and lemon lime soda, providing a flavorful alternative with a different kind of buzz.
