Applebee's Is Releasing $2 Dos Equis, and Keeping the Dollarita Through Cinco de Mayo

Applebee's monthly drink specials have come to be expected, maybe more so than your drunk BFF shouting, "Let's take shots!" during final call. Next month, they're releasing $2 Dos Equis beers, and keeping the Dollarita around through Cinco de Mayo. 

The Dollarita (a $1 margarita) is Applebee's true OG, and this past month, it made an epic comeback. But there was one problem: The $1 margarita promotion ended just before Cinco de Mayo, aka when everybody has margs on their mind. Applebee's recently realized this (thank goodness) and now, Dollaritas are here to stay for a little while longer. 

But next up for Applebee's monthly drink special is $2 Dos Equis beer, which Applebee's is referring to as 2 Dollar Dos XX. Not as clever as Dollarita, but OK. It's the second time the chain has included beer as a drink special, as opposed to a mixed drink. They served $2 Blue Moon in January. 

According to Food and Wine, the 2 Dollar Dos XX promo will run for the month of May starting May 1. So yes, that does mean Applebees will be serving two Mexican-themed drink specials on Cinco de Mayo. 

Applebee's has always prided itself on being a neighborhood gathering spot. Pair these two drink specials with their late night half-priced apps and it sounds like that spot is going to be pretty lit this May.
