We prefer Guinness to green beer, but we understand that a gimmick is a gimmick…and people want their artificially dyed food and beverages, dammit. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day (which is this Sunday, March 17), here are all the chain restaurants where you can get green sustenance.
Applebee’s
The chain will have $2, 10-ounce mugs of Rainbow Punch. That’s a vodka cocktail flavored with green apple, ginger, lemon, gummy candy garnishes and regrets. applebees.com
Arby’s
The fast-food chain is serving mint-chocolate shakes, made with mint and vanilla ice creams and topped with whipped cream and Andes chocolates. arbys.com

The miniature cupcake brand will have Lucky Charm cupcakes (green vanilla cake with brownie batter, sugar cookie icing and a gold sugar brittle topping) and Rainbow Cookie cupcakes (rainbow almond cake with strawberry stuffing, chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkle brittle) available for online order. bakedbymelissa.com
