RE: $1 Long Island Iced Tea from Applebee’s: Drink Deal Won’t Save Dying Restaurant Chain

If only they could get access to this post, and take the simple advice here.You can't get anyone to buy your product on furniture, by luring them in with illicit pictures. I subscribe fully to the idea of giving good quality food and then watch your effort produce good result.

I got to find out that to make five gallons of the dirt-cheap Dollaritas, the restaurant uses one gallon of tequila, another gallon of margarita mix, and three gallons of tap water — which means that, essentially, customers are just drinking watered down alcohol when they order the beverage. An employee of Applebees said, "If 'the dollarita is your life,' you're an animal who can't taste things,"

Good info on the Dollaritas. They took some heat for that one. I'd have to guess this drink packs a bit more of a punch, but at that price it can't be high grade stuff.

Booze is already "high grade stuff" even if it's made like dog shit. Unless it's so bad it'll make you blind for drinking it, alcoholics will still drink it right up. It'll still get you fucked up!

You're right. "High quality" might have been a better word choice there.
