10 Must-Try Applebee’s Cocktails

Applebee's Perfect Margarita is in my top three favorite drinks on this list. It hits five different flavor profiles while remaining balanced and delicious. It's sweet from the simple syrup, tart from the lime juice and sour mix, a bit of saltiness from the salt around the rim, slightly bitter, and a bit of umani to round it out from the Cointreau, Grand Marnier, and Tequila. This drink requires somewhat expensive ingredients and some skill to execute properly, but if you get the hang of it, you'll love making it for family and friends at dinner parties.

Applebee's Red Apple Sangria features Cabernet Sauvignon, a popular red wine with many different notes to enjoy. You get a fruity flavor from hints of blackberry, black cherry, and black currant, with subtle traces of green bell pepper, spice, tobacco, wood, and vanilla. Add in a little grenadine, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, apple liqueur, and top it off with Sierra Mist, and you've got an easy tasty summer cocktail.

It takes about 20 minutes to make one of the most well-known Applebee's cocktails—the Bahama Mama. Many ingredients are involved, but it's not the most difficult recipe to copy. You'll need light rum and coconut rum, pineapple and orange juice, grenadine, banana liqueur, and a lemon-lime soda like 7UP or Sprite. Don't forget the fresh pineapple and cherries to garnish! I love sipping these on the beach when it's hot outside or at home near the pool. 

Applebee's Kahlua Mudslide Cocktail is great for hot summer days and cold nights, so the versatility award goes to this signature drink. It's creamy, sweet, a must for chocolate lovers, and easy to make. All you have to do is pour the precise amounts of Kahlua, vodka, milk, and Bailey's Irish Cream over ice and stir!

The Blue Aloha from Applebee's is a wonderful delight that you can make in the comfort of your home and save money at the same time. Grab your favorite tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice and blue curacao and mix the ingredients together. You are now ready to enjoy all the wonderful flavors of a Blue Aloha from Applebee's.

As you know, this drink is chock full of flavor, and all you need are a few simple ingredients: DeKuyper Razzmatazz, Sutter Home Cabernet, fresh-squeezed orange and lime, and orange and cranberry juice.

Here's a summer drink that'll really knock your socks off! The Copycat Applebee’s Kiwi Lemonade is packed with many fruity flavors that meld really well together. With simple ingredients such as sparkling water, two kiwis, fresh lemon juice, and sugar, you can make this concoction in no time; just be sure to have a blender.

The White Peach Sangria is the perfect drink for a relaxing evening at home or a nice drink to have when you're out and about with friends. I personally enjoy pineapple flavor along with the faint taste of Sierra Mist. Here are the essential ingredients so mix well and enjoy: Sutter Home White Zinfandel, pineapple juice, and DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps.

The Long Island Iced Tea is a timeless classic that you can whip out at any function or celebration. It embodies a unique blend of flavors, with the bases of those flavors encompassing four spirits and a splash of Coca-Cola. Grab some rum, gin, vodka, cola, and sweet, and mix it to give it the twang you love.

The "Shark Bowl" sounds fun and is also an exquisite delight. Its aqua-blue appearance makes it very enticing, and you only need a few ingredients to make this concoction. With just a bit of Powerade, blue curacao, ice, and a blender, you can be on your to make a Shark Bowl in under five minutes. My favorite part is adding the shark gummy candy, which makes it whimsical!
