PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Applebee’s DOLLARITA® is back by popular demand! Beginning today, guests can enjoy Applebee’s famous $1 margarita, all month long when dining in restaurant.

But that’s not all. Applebee’s Cerveza & Sips are back, featuring two star-studded margaritas and a cold $5 Dos Equis Brewtus® draft beer. Cheers with the $5 Rock & Berry Rita, a strawberry margarita with big-time flavor featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s ultra-premium Teremana Blanco Tequila served in Applebee’s signature Mucho glass. Or mix it up with mezcal and enjoy the $9 Breaking Rock Rita, a slightly smoky margarita featuring Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston’s Dos Hombres Mezcal and Teremana Tequila with blue curacao, lime, and a rock candy garnish, poured tableside and served with a chilled shaker tin.

“We’re bringing back everyone’s favorite $1 margarita just in time for Cinco de Mayo,” said Nathan Grover, Executive Director, Bar & Beverage at Applebee’s. “Whether toasting with our classic DOLLARITA or sipping on our premium spirited Rock & Berry Rita or Breaking Rock Rita, Applebee’s has all your margarita bases covered.
