Applebee's visitors can try the new [Strawberry Vodka Lemonade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vodkabased-lemonade) for only one dollar throughout February. The promotion began in select locations in Texas with the Dollarita, a [$1 margarita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-robin-commemorates). The restaurants are shifting gears to offer this new flavor ahead of Valentine's Day celebrations. The $1 Vodka Strawberry Lemonade is served in a 10-ounce mug. It boasts a simple recipe with delicious flavors, including a mix of vodka matched with strawberry and lemonade. The beverage is ideal for February as the strawberry flavors are perfectly themed for Valentine's Day. Applebee's ensures that the drink is as tasty as it is beautiful.
