The editorial take
Applebee's Grill + Bar runs a seasonal Spooky Sips cocktail promotion at $6, featuring Tipsy Zombie and Dracula's Juice, both built on Bacardí rum. Cold draft beers and non-alcoholic options round out the bar. The cocktail lineup is straightforward and affordable, but the program's scope is limited to a temporary holiday menu.

- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers seeking inexpensive, rum-forward cocktails during a seasonal promotion will find the Spooky Sips lineup approachable. The $6 price point suits casual bar-goers, though those looking for craft cocktail complexity may want to look elsewhere.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The seasonal Spooky Sips menu offers two named cocktails at a flat $6, both featuring Bacardí rum. Dracula's Juice stands out by combining rum with Cuervo Traditional 100% de Agave, a tequila rarely paired with rum in mainstream bar promotions.
