Chili’s Wicked Drinks: 2026 Menu Status, Recipes, Price & Flavor Guide
What happened to the green Witches Brew Marg and pink Good Witch Marg? Here is the full guide to their ingredients, taste, price, timeline, current availability, mocktail options, and home-inspired versions.
Chili’s Wicked drinks became one of the restaurant chain’s most talked-about promotions in fall 2025. One drink was electric green, the other was bubblegum pink, and both came with collectible witch-themed stirrers.
The limited-time pairing included the Witches Brew Marg and the Good Witch Marg. They were inspired by the contrasting colors and personalities associated with Elphaba and Glinda, although contemporary coverage noted that the promotion was not presented as an official movie partnership.
This guide explains what was inside both margaritas, how they tasted, why they became so popular, and whether Chili’s still serves them in 2026. It also covers price, alcohol strength, mocktail requests, current alternatives, and practical home-inspired recipes.
Quick Answer
Chili’s Wicked drinks are no longer current menu specials as of August 6, 2026.
The promotion featured two $6 margaritas:
- Witches Brew Marg: A green apple margarita with tequila and Blue Curaçao
- Good Witch Marg: A pink dragonfruit margarita with tequila, triple sec, and soda water
Chili’s current August 2026 Margarita of the Month is the $6 Shark Attack Marg, made with blue raspberry, tequila, triple sec, sour mix, and soda water.
Chili’s Wicked Drinks at a Glance
The two Wicked-inspired drinks shared a tequila-and-sour foundation, but they did not taste alike. The green drink was sharper and more candy-like, while the pink drink was lighter and mildly sparkling.
Here is the simplest side-by-side comparison.
| Feature | Witches Brew Marg | Good Witch Marg |
|---|---|---|
| Color | Electric green | Bright pink |
| Main flavor | Granny Smith apple | Dragonfruit |
| Tequila | Lunazul Blanco | Lunazul Blanco |
| Orange liqueur | Blue Curaçao | Triple sec |
| Sour component | Chili’s house-made sour | Chili’s house-made sour |
| Carbonated | No | Yes, with soda water |
| Original price | $6 | $6 |
| Themed stirrer | Witch’s broom | Pink wand |
| Best for | Tart candy-flavor fans | Lighter fruity-drink fans |
| Current status | Discontinued seasonal special | Discontinued seasonal special |
Chili’s archived Margarita of the Month lineup confirms the official core ingredients for both drinks.
Are Chili’s Wicked Drinks Still Available in 2026?
No. Witches Brew and Good Witch are not currently featured at Chili’s.
Both were limited-time Margaritas of the Month. Chili’s explains that each monthly drink is available temporarily and normally disappears when its promotional month ends.
Witches Brew occupied the October 2025 slot and remained available during November. Good Witch joined the menu on October 31, 2025, creating a two-margarita November promotion. Allrecipes reported that this was the first time Chili’s offered two Margaritas of the Month together.
The official Chili’s archive still lists both drinks, but an archived listing does not mean restaurants continue serving them.
What Chili’s Serves in August 2026
The current featured drink is the Shark Attack Marg. It contains:
- El Jimador Silver Tequila
- Triple sec
- Monin Blue Raspberry syrup
- House-made sour
- Soda water
- Lime wedge
- Gummy shark garnish
The Shark Attack Marg is advertised for $6 during August 2026 at participating restaurants.
What Was in the Witches Brew Margarita?
Witches Brew Marg
The Witches Brew Marg was the darker, greener drink of the pair. Chili’s built it around tart apple syrup, orange-flavored liqueur, tequila, and sour mix.
- Lunazul Blanco Tequila
- Blue Curaçao
- Monin Granny Smith Apple syrup
- Chili’s house-made sour
- Witch’s broom-shaped stirrer
The combination of blue liqueur and green apple syrup created its vivid witchy color. Blue Curaçao also added orange flavor, while the Granny Smith syrup supplied the dominant tart-apple character.
What Did Witches Brew Taste Like?
A firsthand PureWow review compared the dominant flavor to green apple hard candy. The reviewer found the apple syrup sweet and tart, while the sour mixture prevented the drink from becoming entirely candy-like.
Expect a flavor profile that is:
- Sweet at the beginning
- Strongly apple-forward
- Tart through the finish
- More intense than a traditional lime margarita
- Similar to green apple candy
- Less light than the Good Witch Marg
This was not designed as a restrained, spirit-forward cocktail. Its appeal came from its bold color, recognizable apple taste, low promotional price, and Halloween presentation.
Who Would Have Preferred Witches Brew?
- Green apple candy
- Sweet-and-sour cocktails
- Strong fruit syrup flavors
- Halloween-themed drinks
- Margaritas without carbonation
- Bright, photograph-friendly beverages
People who normally prefer dry, citrus-led margaritas may have found it too sweet.
What Was in the Good Witch Margarita?
Good Witch Marg
The Good Witch Marg was Chili’s bright pink alternative. It used dragonfruit syrup instead of apple and included soda water for a lighter body.
- Lunazul Blanco Tequila
- Triple sec
- Monin Dragonfruit syrup
- Chili’s house-made sour
- Soda water
- Sparkly wand-shaped stirrer
The drink arrived at participating restaurants on October 31, 2025 and remained part of the November dual-margarita promotion.
What Did Good Witch Taste Like?
Dragonfruit has a mild flavor compared with apple, mango, or passion fruit. The syrup primarily contributed sweetness, fruit character, and the drink’s vivid pink appearance.
According to PureWow’s firsthand tasting, the soda water reduced the heavy impression of the syrup and created mild carbonation. The reviewer preferred Good Witch because it felt lighter and allowed more tequila character to come through.
Its flavor profile was:
- Sweet but less dense
- Mildly tropical
- Orange-accented
- Lightly sparkling
- Smoother than Witches Brew
- Less tart than a classic margarita
Who Would Have Preferred Good Witch?
- Pink cocktails
- Mild fruit flavors
- Light carbonation
- Sweeter margaritas
- Dragonfruit drinks
- Cocktails that feel less syrup-heavy
The bubbles also helped make it a more flexible food-pairing option.
Witches Brew vs. Good Witch: Which Was Better?
There was no universal winner. The better choice depended on whether the drinker preferred bold green apple or lighter dragonfruit.
| Category | Better Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Strongest fruit flavor | Witches Brew | Apple was easier to identify |
| Lighter texture | Good Witch | Soda water reduced heaviness |
| Tartest drink | Witches Brew | Apple and sour dominated |
| Milder drink | Good Witch | Dragonfruit was softer |
| Most Halloween-like | Witches Brew | Green color and broom garnish |
| Most Glinda-inspired | Good Witch | Pink color and wand garnish |
| Best with rich food | Witches Brew | Tartness cut through salty dishes |
| Best with spicy food | Good Witch | Bubbles and mild sweetness softened heat |
| Best for candy-flavor fans | Witches Brew | Strong green apple profile |
| Best for casual sipping | Good Witch | Lighter, more carbonated body |
The Complete Chili’s Wicked Drinks Timeline
The promotion can be confusing because Witches Brew appeared before Good Witch and existed before the 2025 movie-inspired pairing.
October 2024
Chili’s initially offered Witches Brew as a seasonal Margarita of the Month.
The drink became one of the program’s strongest performers. Chili’s later reported serving more than one million Witches Brew Margaritas during October 2024.
September 23, 2025
Chili’s officially announced that Witches Brew would return as the October 2025 Margarita of the Month.
The returning version again featured Lunazul Blanco Tequila, Blue Curaçao, Monin Granny Smith Apple syrup, house-made sour, and a broom-shaped stirrer.
October 2025
Witches Brew returned nationwide at participating Chili’s restaurants for the Halloween season.
October 31, 2025
Good Witch joined the menu with its pink dragonfruit flavor and wand-shaped stirrer.
November 2025
Both margaritas were promoted together for $6 each. It was reportedly the first dual offering in Chili’s Margarita of the Month program.
December 2025
The seasonal pairing ended as Chili’s moved to its next monthly margarita.
August 6, 2026
Neither Wicked-inspired margarita is a current featured drink. The August 2026 special is the Shark Attack Marg.
Was This an Official Wicked Movie Collaboration?
The drinks were clearly Wicked-inspired, but available reporting did not identify the promotion as an officially licensed movie collaboration.
PureWow stated that the drinks were not officially tied to the movie, although they were described as being inspired by a legendary duo. Lushworthy reached a similar conclusion based on the promotional presentation.
How Much Did Chili’s Wicked Margaritas Cost?
Both drinks were advertised for $6 each during the November 2025 promotion.
The advertised price may not have included:
- State or local sales tax
- Restaurant-specific alcohol taxes
- Delivery or pickup charges
- Food required under local takeout-alcohol laws
- Replacement charges for unavailable custom ingredients
The themed stirrer was part of the advertised presentation, but promotional garnishes can run out before the drink itself.
How Strong Were the Wicked Margaritas?
Chili’s published the alcoholic ingredients but did not provide a finished-drink alcohol by volume, total spirit measurement, or standardized serving size on its archived Margarita of the Month page.
Witches Brew
- Blanco tequila
- Blue Curaçao
Good Witch
- Blanco tequila
- Triple sec
How Many Calories and How Much Sugar Did They Have?
A reliable item-specific calorie or sugar total for the discontinued drinks is not shown in Chili’s public archived lineup.
The drinks would have received calories and sugar from several sources:
- Tequila
- Blue Curaçao or triple sec
- Flavored Monin syrup
- House-made sour
- Any additional sweetener in the restaurant mixture
Good Witch also contained soda water, which normally adds no meaningful calories on its own. However, that does not make the complete drink low-calorie.
Exact values should not be estimated without knowing:
- The tequila pour
- Liqueur measurement
- Syrup measurement
- Sour-mix formula
- Final serving volume
- Ice dilution
Allergy and Dietary Considerations
People with food allergies should contact the restaurant directly and notify staff before ordering. Chili’s location-menu pages advise guests with allergies to contact the restaurant because ingredients and shared preparation areas can create cross-contact concerns.
Questions worth asking include:
- Does the syrup contain an ingredient I avoid?
- Is the sour mix prepared in-house?
- Is the shaker shared with other beverages?
- Can the glass be prepared without a salt rim?
- Has the ingredient formula changed since the original promotion?
Can Chili’s Still Make a Witches Brew or Good Witch Margarita?
A bartender may recognize the drink name, but that does not guarantee the restaurant can recreate it.
The main obstacles are seasonal inventory and restaurant policy. A location may no longer stock Granny Smith apple syrup, dragonfruit syrup, the original tequila, or the promotional stirrers.
Before Making a Special Trip
- Select the correct Chili’s location online.
- Call the restaurant during a quieter period.
- Ask whether the required Monin syrup is available.
- Ask whether the bar accepts discontinued-drink requests.
- Confirm the price before ordering.
- Do not expect the broom or wand garnish.
A custom version may taste different from the original because the ingredient brands, proportions, glass size, and sour mixture may have changed.
Can You Order a Non-Alcoholic Wicked Drink?
Chili’s did not list an official nationwide Witches Brew or Good Witch mocktail in the published promotion.
Because the original builds contained tequila and alcoholic orange liqueur, removing only the tequila would not make either drink alcohol-free.
“Could you make a completely alcohol-free green apple or dragonfruit drink with no tequila and no alcoholic liqueur?”
Green Witches Brew-Style Mocktail Request
- Green apple syrup
- Lemonade or sour mix
- Lime
- Soda water
Pink Good Witch-Style Mocktail Request
- Dragonfruit syrup
- Lemonade
- Lime
- Soda water
What Is the Closest Current Chili’s Drink?
The Shark Attack Marg is the closest current option in appearance and general style.
Like the Wicked drinks, it is:
- Brightly colored
- Fruit-forward
- Made with tequila
- Made with orange liqueur
- Built with house-made sour
- Sold as a $6 Margarita of the Month
- Served with a novelty garnish
However, it tastes different. Shark Attack uses blue raspberry, while Witches Brew used green apple and Good Witch used dragonfruit.
Closest Choice to Witches Brew
Choose Shark Attack Marg if you want another intensely colored, sweet-and-sour fruit margarita.
Closest Choice to Good Witch
A permanent dragonfruit-flavored House Mar-Go-Rita may be the more logical substitute where that flavor is available. Chili’s location menus list dragonfruit among the possible House Mar-Go-Rita flavor choices, although local availability can differ.
Less-Sweet Alternative
The Skinny Marg combines tequila, house-made sour, and soda water. It removes the heavy fruit-syrup character and offers a simpler profile.
How to Make Chili’s Wicked-Inspired Drinks at Home
Witches Brew-Inspired Margarita
This is an original home approximation, not Chili’s official recipe. Chili’s has published the ingredient names but not its measurements.
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces blanco tequila
- ½ ounce Blue Curaçao
- ¼ ounce green apple syrup
- ¾ ounce fresh lime juice

- Taste a small amount before pouring.
- Add another teaspoon of apple syrup for a sweeter drink.
- Strain into an ice-filled rocks or margarita glass.
- Garnish with lime or orange.
How to Balance the Flavor
- If it tastes too sweet, add fresh lime in one-teaspoon amounts.
- If it tastes too sour, add a small amount of apple syrup.
- If the apple disappears, reduce the lime before adding more syrup.

Replace the tequila and Blue Curaçao with:
- 2 ounces lemonade
- 1 ounce soda water
- ¼ ounce green apple syrup

Use nonalcoholic blue-orange syrup only when you want a closer color.

- ½ ounce dragonfruit syrup
- ¾ ounce fresh lime juice

How to Make It Less Sweet
- Reduce the dragonfruit syrup to ¼ ounce.

- Avoid adding simple syrup unless needed.
Alcohol-Free Version
Combine:
- 1 ounce dragonfruit syrup

For a less-sweet drink, begin with ½ ounce of dragonfruit syrup.
Best Food Pairings for Wicked-Style Margaritas
Sweet fruit margaritas work best with food that provides salt, smoke, fat, acidity, or controlled heat.
| Food | Best Drink | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Chips and salsa | Either | Salt and acidity balance sweetness |
| Guacamole | Witches Brew | Creaminess softens tart apple |
| Southwestern eggrolls | Either | Savory filling contrasts with fruit syrup |
| Smoked wings | Witches Brew | Smoke stands up to strong apple |
| Chicken fajitas | Good Witch | Citrus and bubbles lighten the meal |
| Honey-chipotle chicken | Good Witch | Mild sweetness complements smoky heat |
| Nashville Hot Mozzarella | Good Witch | Carbonation refreshes after rich spice |
| Grilled salmon | Witches Brew | Tartness cuts through richer fish |
| Burger and fries | Witches Brew | Salt balances the candy-like profile |
| Grilled shrimp | Good Witch | Citrus and tropical fruit pair naturally |
PureWow’s firsthand review found Witches Brew effective beside salty queso and richer entrées, while Good Witch paired well with stronger or spicier menu items.
