Toothsome Vampire-Themed Cocktails

Applebee's October Drink of the Month is the Vampire Cocktail

— October 2, 2019 — Lifestyle
If pumpkin spice lattes and caramel apple cold brews are a little too basic for you, you might be interested in the new $1 Vampire cocktail from Applebee's.

Continuing its ongoing $1 drink of the month promotion, Applebee's has rolled out a new Vampire cocktail for the month of October. Though the name may sound terrifying, you might be a little bit more interested when you hear what this cool cocktail is made from. The Vampire starts with rum and then combines it with a fruity mixture of strawberry, dragon fruit, passion fruit, and pineapple. The whole thing is then topped off with a pair of wearable vampire fangs and a bright red cherry.

Though the flavors may not scream fall, the look and the price of this new drink are seasonally appropriate.
