Dr. Dre + Snoop cocktails

Expect branded serves and guest activations that trade on both celebrity and craft spirits storytelling (x.com).
Applebee’s rolled out the limited‑time “Still Together Sips” program in a company release dated Feb. 17, 2026. (applebees.com) The menu names two signature serves — the $7 Young, Wild & Free Fruit Punch (Still G.I.N., grenadine, lemon sour, pineapple) and the $10 Rollin’ On The Beach (Still G.I.N., peach schnapps, prickly pear, orange and cranberry) — with Rollin’ On The Beach poured tableside in a chilled shaker tin. (applebees.com) Both cocktails are accompanied by three collectible temporary‑tattoo garnishes and are being offered exclusively to Applebee’s dine‑in guests for a limited time. (applebees.com) Still G.I.N., the ultra‑premium gin co‑founded by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, launched nationally in late 2024 and is marketed with citrus‑forward tasting notes of tangerine, jasmine and coriander; the spirit earned a Masters Medal at the 2025 Gin Masters Awards. (thespiritsbusiness.com) Applebee’s operates roughly 1,500 restaurants across the U.S., giving the promotion immediate national scale within the casual‑dining chain. (foodxdata.com) The Applebee’s push follows a broader rollout strategy from Dre & Snoop — their Gin & Juice ready‑to‑drink cocktail line hit shelves in 2024, and the duo has previously placed Still G.I.N. cocktails at other chains, including a Red Lobster menu item.
