$6 Spooky Sips: Applebee's Halloween Drinks
Through November 15, 2026, two Halloween cocktails are $6 each, and for the first time there are booze-free options too.
- Tipsy Zombie, $6: Bacardí Superior rum with passion fruit, pineapple, cherry and lime, topped with gummy brains.
- Dracula's Juice, $6: Bacardí Superior rum, Cuervo Tradicional Blanco, prickly pear and lemon sour.
- Tropical Spell Mocktail, $4: pineapple, passion fruit, cherry, lime and dragon fruit, no alcohol.
- Graveyard Dirty Soda: Mountain Dew with blue raspberry, a creamy swirl, whipped cream, grenadine and OREO cookie crumbles.
You can add a Patrón Silver "Vibe Drop" to either cocktail. Against a regular $9.99 to $11.99 signature cocktail, a Spooky Sip saves you $4 to $6 a drink, which makes it the best-priced cocktail at Applebee's until mid-November.
Is the Applebee's Dollarita Back?
No. The $1 Dollarita, a house margarita, came back for July 2026 and ended July 31. Applebee's first ran it in 2017, and it has returned since through its drink-of-the-month promotions, so another run is likely. There's no announced date. For now, the cheapest cocktails are the $6 Spooky Sips and the $6 Bacardí rum cocktail.
Which Applebee's Drink to Order
On a budget: a $6 Spooky Sip until November 15.
Watching calories: a Miller Lite draft at 130, or a margarita on the rocks at 310.
Skip the frozen margarita if you're counting. Blended, a Mucho Margarita is 650 calories with 75g of sugar, 340 calories more than the same drink on the rocks and within 12g of the sugar in a Triple Chocolate Meltdown. Order it on the rocks and you've saved more calories than most food swaps on the menu.
For the table: the Shark Bowl. It's the heaviest cocktail at 420 calories, and nobody orders it for the numbers. It's the blue drink with the gummy shark.
Every Applebee's Signature Cocktail
Mucho Blue Hawaiian
A bright blue tropical rum cocktail in the big Mucho glass. Sweet and fruity, and the cheapest signature cocktail at $9.99.
- $9.99 · 350 calories
Bacardí Blushing Dragon Mucho
Bacardí rum with dragon fruit, lemon sour and lemonade. Pink, tart and less sweet than the Blue Hawaiian.
- $10.00 · 330 calories
Shark Bowl
A big blue fruity cocktail with a gummy shark on top, ordered as much for the reaction at the table as the taste. The heaviest signature cocktail.
- $10.99 · 420 calories
Top Shelf Long Island Iced Tea
A Long Island made with a premium spirit blend and citrus. The most expensive signature cocktail and the least sweet-tasting of the group.
- $11.99 · 380 calories
$10 Don Julio Mucho Margarita
A Mucho-size margarita made with Don Julio Reposado tequila, citrus and triple sec. It arrived in summer 2026 and moved Applebee's margaritas up a tier from the house pour.
- $10.00 · 320 calories
What "Mucho" Means
Mucho is Applebee's name for its oversized cocktail glass. The drink is bigger and has more mixer and ice in it. For calories, that means a Mucho cocktail lands at 320 to 420, closer to a small dessert than a glass of beer.
Happy Hour Drinks
Drink discounts at happy hour, 3:00 to 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM to close, are set by each restaurant, so there's no national happy hour drink price. Six states ban time-limited drink discounts entirely: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, North Carolina, Alaska and Utah. The Spooky Sips are a flat limited-time price, not a happy hour discount.
Cocktails To Go
Where state law allows it, Applebee's sells cocktails to go at participating restaurants. Expect sealed containers, an ID check at pickup or delivery, and in many states a food order alongside the drinks. Rules change state by state, so check with your local restaurant before ordering.
