Ruby Tuesday has expanded its drink menu with new watermelon-flavored cocktails and pitchers of sangria, the company said Monday.
The new cocktails, which are part of a limited-time offer for summer, include watermelon-flavored mojitos, martinis and margaritas and feature a fresh watermelon garnish.
The sangria is made with fresh fruit and either red or white wine. In addition, Ruby Tuesday also is offering a strawberry-flavored sangria available by the pitcher.
The watermelon mojito is part of Ruby Tuesday's lineup of $5 cocktails, according to the chain's website. Representatives from Ruby Tuesday did not offer pricing for the other watermelon drinks, but said the sangria pitchers, which are available at participating restaurants, are priced at $14 for between three and four servings.
“We are constantly looking for ways that we can bring fresh, craveable food and beverages to our guests,” said Kimberly Grant, Ruby Tuesday’s executive vice president.
The new drinks are the latest addition to Ruby Tuesday's bar program, which the chain has emphasized as part of a brand revamp that also included a more upscale restaurant design and a menu overhaul. The Maryville, Tenn.-based casual-dining chain has 884 locations.
