Applebee’s Spooky Sips are back for 2026, and this year the whole table can join in. The returning $6 Halloween cocktails are joined for the first time by a couple of booze-free options, so the drinks are not just for the 21-and-up crowd anymore. The full lineup is running now through November 15.
The $6 Spooky Sips cocktails
The two marquee cocktails are both $6 and both built on rum. You can also add a Patron Silver vibe drop to either one to customize your own potion.
Dracula’s Juice ($6): a mix of Bacardi Superior Rum, Cuervo Tradicional Blanco, prickly pear, and premium lemon sour.
Tipsy Zombie ($6): Bacardi Superior Rum with passion fruit, pineapple, cherry, and lime, topped with gummi brains. The gummi brain contains gelatin.
New this year: the booze-free options
The real change for 2026 is that Applebee’s added non-alcoholic drinks to the Halloween lineup for the first time, which makes this a rare fast-casual Halloween drink menu the kids can order from too.
That fits a bigger shift we have tracked all season, with Halloween food broadening to pull in the whole family. It is the same instinct behind the wave of kids-meal tie-ins from Wendy’s Frosty Frights and Sonic’s Universal Monsters Wacky Packs. It also lines up with the research: our 2026 Halloween trends report and the Treatonomics findings both point to food as one of the season’s fastest-growing draws.
Tropical Spell Mocktail ($4): a tiki-style mix of pineapple, passion fruit, cherry, lime, and Monin dragon fruit.
Graveyard Dirty Soda: a dessert-leaning dirty soda made with Mountain Dew and Monin blue raspberry, topped with a creamy swirl, whipped cream, grenadine, and Oreo cookie “dirt” crumbles.
Also on the Halloween menu
Two more drinks round things off. There is the Michelob Ultra Brewtus, a light lager with citrus notes, for the beer drinkers. And the fan-favorite $1 Dollar Zombie is back for its sixth year, a rum cocktail topped with a gummi brain, offered as a separate special at participating locations for a limited time.
How to get them
Spooky Sips are available now through November 15, 2026, at participating Applebee’s locations. The drinks are dine-in only, the alcoholic ones are 21 and up, and prices and participation can vary by restaurant while supplies last. For the rest of the season’s chain menus and drops, see our Fall Food and Drinks 2026 guide.
