Quick Answer
The Still Together Sips menu is Applebee's February 2026 collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, built around their award winning STILL G.I.N. brand. Two cocktails anchor the lineup: the $7 Young, Wild & Free fruit punch (STILL G.I.N., grenadine, lemon sour, pineapple juice) and the $10 Rollin' On the Beach (STILL G.I.N., peach schnapps, prickly pear, orange juice, cranberry juice, gold sugar rim, served tableside in a chilled shaker tin).
Every cocktail order came with a free sheet of exclusive West Coast themed temporary tattoos. STILL G.I.N. remains on the back bar after the promotion ended, so you can still order the recipes.
Why STILL G.I.N. Works in Casual Dining
Gin is the most misread spirit at the casual dining bar. Most guests assume it means heavy juniper and pine. STILL G.I.N. was built to break that assumption.
The spirit is botanical forward with citrus and floral notes leading the profile, juniper sitting quietly underneath. It won a Masters Medal at the 2025 Gin Masters Awards, which is the kind of credential that lets Applebee's market it as ultra premium without inflating the price.
Applebee's CMO Michelle Chin framed the collaboration as celebrating real friendships and elevating standard visits. Translation: this is a hip-hop branded program designed to bring a younger, more cocktail curious audience into the neighborhood bar.
The $7 Young, Wild & Free Fruit Punch
This is the entry point. If you are nervous about gin, order this one.
The mix is STILL G.I.N., grenadine, lemon sour and pineapple juice. The grenadine dominates the color and the first sip, turning the cocktail into an adult version of the fruit punch you grew up on.
The gin sits in the background, providing botanical depth that keeps it from tasting cloying. Highly drinkable, deeply nostalgic, and the cheapest way to try the spirit. Order it with mozzarella sticks or pretzels for a salty counter.
The $10 Rollin' On the Beach
This is the centerpiece. The $10 price is justified entirely by the tableside experience.
The build is STILL G.I.N., peach schnapps, prickly pear syrup, orange juice and cranberry juice, served with a striking gold sugar rim.
Here is the move: your server brings it out in a chilled stainless steel shaker tin, pours the first glass in front of you, and leaves the shaker on the table for refills. You get roughly a glass and a half from one order.
Flavor wise it is the superior cocktail of the two. Tart cranberry, sweet peach and prickly pear, botanical gin, no single note dominating. The gin shines through the juice rather than hiding behind it.
The Temporary Tattoo Promo
The marketing hook that pushed the Still Together Sips campaign across social media was the merchandising.
Every cocktail order came with a sheet of exclusive temporary tattoos featuring West Coast iconography, lowriders and Applebee's flash art. Tables of friends were covering arms in temporary ink and sharing the shaker tin, which is exactly the kind of organic content the brand wanted.
The campaign ran through February 2026 and generated significant TikTok volume. Sheets were limited, so once a location ran out, the tattoos were gone for good.
Pairing Gin With Neighborhood Grub
Gin's botanical profile needs careful food pairings. Here is the field guide.
- Fruit Punch plus Brew Pub Pretzels and Beer Cheese. Salt cuts the candy sweetness of the grenadine.
- Fruit Punch plus classic fries. Same logic, lower cost.
- Rollin' On the Beach plus Sesame Salmon Bowl. The peach and cranberry harmonize with the sesame glaze.
- Rollin' On the Beach plus Fiesta Lime Chicken. Citrus on citrus, gin on lime.
STILL G.I.N. After the Promo
The Still Together Sips menu and the tattoos were limited time. The spirit itself stayed.
STILL G.I.N. is now a standard back bar pour at most Applebee's locations. You can order it neat, in a gin and tonic, or as the gin component in any classic gin cocktail.
The brand also resurfaced in April 2026 as one of three premium spirits in the $6 Adios on the Mucho Beach Break menu. So if you want to try the gin without ordering it as the star, the Adios is the cheapest way in.
What the Tableside Service Actually Looks Like
A few details worth knowing if you order the Rollin' On the Beach.
The shaker tin is chilled in the freezer before service, so it arrives frosted. The bartender does the shake at the bar, then walks the tin to your table. The first pour is theatrical. After that you control the refills.
The shaker is restaurant property and stays on the table. The tattoos are yours to take home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is STILL G.I.N. only available in these two cocktails?
No. After the promo ended, the spirit remained on the back bar. You can order any standard gin cocktail with STILL G.I.N. as the base, and it still appears in the $6 Adios on the spring 2026 menu.
Can I take the shaker tin home?
No. The temporary tattoos are yours. The chilled stainless steel shaker stays at the restaurant.
Will the promo return?
Applebee's has not announced a relaunch. Given the social media traction, a 2027 revival is plausible, but unconfirmed.
Is the $10 price the all in cost?
Yes, before tax and tip. The glass plus the shaker refill is included in the single $10 ticket.
How the Pricing Stacks Up
For comparison, a craft cocktail bar in any major US city pours STILL G.I.N. drinks at $14 to $18 per cocktail. A neat pour of the spirit retails around $11 to $13. Applebee's pricing the Fruit Punch at $7 and the Rollin' On the Beach at $10 with the shaker refill included is genuinely below market for the spirit quality in the glass. The tableside shaker pour also delivers roughly 1.5 drinks worth of liquid, which pushes the effective per ounce cost down further.
None of this works without the spirit being good. The 2025 Masters Medal win is the credibility check that lets the price stick, and it explains why the gin stayed on the back bar after the temporary tattoos ran out.
The Takeaway
The Snoop and Dre collaboration is one of the smarter celebrity bar campaigns Applebee's has run. STILL G.I.N. is a legitimately good spirit, the Rollin' On the Beach is a legitimately good cocktail, and the temporary tattoo merch turned a drink order into a social moment. The menu promo ended, but the gin is still pouring. Order it.
