Applebee's Still Together Sips are Garnished with Temporary Tattoos

In celebration of real friendships and real flavor, Applebee's launched new Still Together Sips made with the award-winning Still G.I.N. By Dre and Snoop. Available for a limited time, these exclusive cocktails include the $7 Young, Wild & Free Fruit Punch and the $10 Rollin’ On The Beach, both garnished with original temporary tattoos.

Both smooth and refreshing Still Together Sips cocktails build on the ultra-premium Still G.I.N.'s subtle notes of tangerine, jasmine, and coriander. Snoop’s go-to fruit punch cocktail—Young, Wild & Free Fruit Punch—is prepared with Still G.I.N., grenadine, lemon sour, and pineapple, while the Rollin‘ On the Beach matches Still G.I.N. with peach schnapps, prickly pear, orange and cranberry juices, poured tableside and served in a chilled shaker tin.
