Anyone else already broke from holiday shopping? We still have about three weeks until Christmas and, uh, my funds are pretty much tapped out, which is why the news of Applebee's $1 drink for December could not come soon enough. This month, you can score a Merry Dollarita from Applebee's for just a buck.

The Dollarita sounds like your typical marg with a pomegranate twist. It's a blend of tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and pomegranate all served over ice. If you typically order flavored margaritas when you go out to eat, you'll know that they can typically run you a pretty penny for some reason. Seriously...why? What is that syrup made of? So this cheap margarita is a pretty nice and welcome surprise.

As always, you can pick up this month's $1 drink at participating Applebee's until the end of December. While you're there, may I suggest pairing it with some boneless wings, or some the new fajita entrees that just hit the menu? It's pretty much a no-brainer to pair them together, but just in case you needed a little encouragement.

After December is over, you'll have to go back to a life where you spend, like, 10 times more just to get a marg. But let's be real, by then we'll all be drinking the next $1 drink that comes our way...or be too busy working on our New Year's resolutions to drink. Yeah, right.
