# Supersized Holiday Cocktails Applebee's Berry Merry Colada is a Piña Colada with a Festive Twist By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2020-11-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berry-merry-colada References: [delish](https://www.delish.com/food-news/a34740609/applebees-5-dollar-holiday-cocktails-2020/) This holiday season, Applebee's wants to help you indulge in a drink or two with two supersized holiday cocktails: the Berry Merry Colada and the Reindeer Punch. Dubbed the $5 Sleigh Bell Sips, these new cocktails are a budget-friendly way to enjoy a boozy holiday drink. The first of the new drinks, the Berry Merry Colada, is a tropical piña colada with a strawberry swirl, Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, and Midori. As for the Reindeer Punch, this drink is made from Smirnoff Vodka, Ocean Spray cranberry juice, and sweet & sour, and cherry. While the flavors are certainly tasty, the real draw of these drinks is the supersized portions. Each cocktail is served in a "Mucho glass," which means just one is probably enough.
