Menu Description: "Drink in the passions of Spain! A delightful mix of Sutter Home Cabernet Sauvignon, Shakka Apple Liqueur, Dole pineapple juice, Ocean Spray cranberry juice, and grenadine. Garnished with maraschino cherry, orange, lime and fresh apple."
The menu description for this quenching cocktail specifies brand names that the restaurant uses to create this drink. For the best clone, I suggest you use the same brands. However, if you must substitute with other brands, I don't suspect anyone will care. I certainly won't, and I promise not to tell anyone your secret. If you can't find Shakka brand apple liqueur, use any sour apple flavored liqueur. If you don't have Sierra Mist lemon-lime soda, you can use Sprite or 7-Up. This is just between you and me.

| This is the best summertime drink. I'm making it now in the middle of winter just dreaming of summer. You definetly have to make it by the pitcher it goes way too fast. |

| OMG! My sister and I get this drink every time we eat at Applebees and we love it! So, when I saw this recipe I thought "oh boy" and was I right. We make this by the pitcher and just add Sprite as we fix a glass! It's exactly like the real thing and the perfect Sunday afternoon drink! |

| This recipe is great. It tastes just like the restaurant's. I couldn't find Shakka at my local store, but I tried 99 apples, which tasted the same. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Awesome! Cheers! |

| I tried to duplicate this recipe and came close, but Todd nailed it. Living in Indiana, it's hard to get the right apple liquor, so I decided on 99 Apples, which worked great. This is a great recipe and I thank Todd for providing the ingredient I missed - grenadine. Thanks! |

| I've tried for three months to get the right amounts of ingredients figured out and it never tasted right. Thanks for this recipe - it's identical! |
