It’s just about time to say goodbye to summer and hello to pumpkin spice and all things apple-flavored.

Letting go of the season of fun in the sun is hard, though, especially if it’s your favorite time of year. To help ease the transition a bit, Applebee’s is helping us say “see ya later” to summer with September’s $1 drink of the month, appropriately named, well, “Adios”!

The new Adios drink is a mix of vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curacao, sweet & sour, and Sierra Mist. It is essentially Applebee’s take on a Blue Long Island Iced Tea, also sometimes called a Blue Motorcycle. Regardless of what you call it, though, you can get it for just $1 now through Sept. 30.

The Adios is served in a 10-ounce mug all day, every day, but it’s a good idea to call your local Applebee’s just to make sure they have it before heading out for a couple of drinks.

“Guests are going to really love our refreshing, vibrant $1 Adios,” Patrick Kirk, vice president of beverage innovation at Applebee’s, said in a press release. “Say goodbye or hello with our take on this special drink that’s packed with spirits and gives you a reason to kick back and enjoy.”

While enjoying, however, keep in mind that just because the drink is only $1 (and you’re sad that summer is coming to an end) does not mean you should overdo it. Please make sure you have a safe ride home just in case you say adios to summer a bit more enthusiastically than you planned on.

You can get the drink any time Applebee’s is open. But, if you wait until happy hour (which varies, depending on your location), you can also get half-priced appetizers and other discounted drinks in case you want to try something else instead.

Will you be heading to Applebee’s to say goodbye to summer with their $1 Adios drink of the month?
