Applebee’s Brings Back Its $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips—With a New Valentine’s Flavor

Applebee’s

Applebee’s is really trying to throw a wrench in my Dry January plans, because the restaurant has just announced that it’s bringing back its fan-favorite $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips. They’ve even thrown in a new Valentine’s Day-inspired Mucho Smoocho Sip. Available starting today is the oldie, but goodie Tipsy Cupid and the all-new Prickly Ever After Rita. Not sure which sip you’ll be indulging in first? Well, here’s a brief description of each:

Tipsy Cupid - Smirnoff Vodka, orange liqueur, strawberry and premium lemon sour.

Prickly Ever After Rita - Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Tequila, orange liqueur, lime and prickly pear.

So no one misses out on a smooch of their own as we approach the Valentine’s Day holiday, both the Tipsy Cupid and Prickly Ever After Rita are served with a gummi lips garnish. There’s also a new, non-alcoholic beverage: the Prickly Melon Rush. This Dry January-friendly sip features Red Bull Watermelon, prickly pear, lime juice and lemon lime soda.

“It’s easy to find something (or someone) to fall in love with at Applebee’s – like our Mucho Smoocho Sips,” said Nate Grover, executive director of bar and beverage at Applebee’s, in a statement. “Big drinks, full of flavor and made with premium spirits, our $6 Mucho cocktails or our new mocktail are perfect for the ultimate night out, so toast to 2026 with your nearest and dearest at your local Applebee’s today!”

If the Tipsy Cupid and Prickly Ever After Rita are anything like Applebee’s new Espresso Martini (my new restaurant fave), sign me up for both!
