Hispanic Heritage Month Begins September 15 – The Toast Begins September 1 with Dos-A-Ritas and 1800® Coconut Lemonade Margaritas Headlining a Month-Long Texas Celebration
Texas (RestaurantNews.com) SSCP-owned Applebee’s locations in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Central and East Texas are so excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month that they are starting two weeks early and are commemorating the event with two libations to honor a large part of the Lone Star State’s neighborhood.
Beginning today and for the entire month of September, SSCP’s Applebee’s will feature two limited-time $6.99 margaritas: the Dos-A-Rita and 1800® Coconut Lemonade Margarita. The initiative was first reported by The Dallas Morning News food reporter Imelda Garcia: DallasNews.com/food/restaurant-news/article/applebees-margaritas-hispanic-heritage-month-texas-22411339.php

- $6.99 DOS-A-RITA
A refreshing combination of Applebee’s House Margarita and a 7 oz. Dos Equis® Lager. Served over ice with a salted rim and fresh lime, the Dos-A-Rita blends crisp beer flavor with the sweet and citrusy taste of a classic margarita. Guests can also enjoy it frozen for an additional $1.

- $6.99 1800® COCONUT LEMONADE MARGARITA
1800® Coconut Lemonade Margarita: made with 1800® Coconut Tequila, lemonade, and triple sec, this cocktail delivers a smooth blend of tropical coconut and bright citrus flavors. Served over ice with fresh lime, it is a light and refreshing way to enjoy the final days of Summer.

“Hispanic heritage is not something that suddenly becomes relevant in Texas on September 15, the official start of Hispanic Heritage Month. It is part of who we are every day,” said Blake Roe, Vice President of Marketing for SSCP. “We wanted to start the celebration early; keep it going throughout September and give our neighbors two great reasons to raise a glass together.”
Hispanic heritage has been part of the Texas story for centuries, shaping the state’s food, music, language, architecture and traditions. The connection is not ceremonial or distant; it is woven into everyday life across the Lone Star State. Texas’ Hispanic population surpassed 12 million in 2022, making it the state’s largest demographic group – another reason Hispanic Heritage Month is particularly relevant in the Lone Star State.
