This past October, Applebee's attracted the attention of budget-minded lushes when it announced a monthlong drink deal featuring $1 margaritas. But the boozy bargain begat a backlash after an anonymous employee's muckraking Snapchat video revealed that the much-hyped Dollaritas were allegedly one part bottom-shelf tequila, one part margarita mix and three parts tap water, all sloshed together in unappetizing plastic buckets. Perhaps to atone for this sin, the fast-casual dining chain now has $1 Long Island iced teas throughout the month of December. Also, the restaurant is (questionably) abbreviating Long Island iced tea as “L.I.T.,” with the clear implication being that one can get lit for just a fistful of dollars. Unlike margaritas, Long Island iced tea should be hard to water down, as the recipe explicitly calls for a potent combination of equal parts gin, vodka, tequila, rum, triple sec, and cola. So while its name and tea-like appearance may conjure up images of little old ladies sunning themselves on a porch, the resulting concoction is actually better suited to little old ladies who like

![]() Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner has purchased a brand-new, $10 million custom estate in the exclusive enclave of Hidden Hills, CA. The new digs are about a half-mile away from her current home and practically across the street from Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's home, which has become an endless construction project. Unlike her daughter's ever-evolving mansion, Jenner's new place is move-in ready. We peered behind the gates and dug deep into the features of this luxe home. But first, let's get the basic specs out of the way. Jenner's latest tasty little slice of real estate features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and two half-baths. It measures a whopping 9,400 square feet and sits on a 1.28-acre lot. Here's what else you'll need to know about the latest addition to the Kardashian real estate empire. 1. The location![]() realtor.com The listing details tout the location as “one of the finest locations in all of Hidden Hills.” It's mere steps from Ahmanson Ranch State Park, which offers miles of hiking and riding trails. The lot itself is landscaped with lush, rolling lawns, and mature trees add privacy. Plus, it's behind the gates of Hidden Hills and away from the prying eyes of paparazzi. 2. A wide-open floor plan![]() realtor.com Spacious and flooded with light from the glass doors, skylights, and retractable walls, the home features a wide-open floor plan that allows the space plenty of room to breathe. Even the home's enormous front door is glass-all the better to let the SoCal sunshine stream in from every angle. 3. An elegant pool![]() realtor.com No SoCal mansion would be complete without a spectacular pool area, and Jenner's new pad is no exception. The zero-edge pool, 10-person spa, fire pit, and manicured lawns make this backyard the perfect backdrop for the camera-ready family to frolic in style. 4. Those walnut floors![]() realtor.com The contemporary, elegant interior is anchored by the breathtaking walnut floors. Rustic and ready for action, they shine throughout. Let's just hope the wood is stiletto-proof. 5. A muted color palette![]() realtor.com It's a departure from the black-and-white, glossy aesthetic fans are accustomed to seeing on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” The muted, elegant color palette in this home is soothing and refined. Even the media room avoids gimmicky, overdone design with these gorgeous blue velvet sofas. Audrey Hepburn overseeing the room's festivities doesn't hurt either. Will it stay understated? Stay tuned. 6. Luminous light fixtures![]() realtor.com Like fine jewels adorning a perfumed nape, the gorgeous light fixtures throughout the home are all remarkable and special without overpowering the space. 7. A place to soak it all in![]() realtor.com No one would have expected anything less than a showstopper of a tub for Jenner, and this mansion has a dreamy doozy of a soaker with a view. For when there's no time to luxuriate, there's also a steam shower. 8. Much-needed closet space![]() realtor.com Jenner requires serious closet real estate to hold her many designer looks. This home has a closet that dazzles with tons of storage for Jenner's many, many Birkins. 9. The amazing kitchen![]() realtor.com Most likely this space will be used by caterers and private chefs, but anyone interested in whipping up a little something to eat will find this kitchen both inviting and well-appointed. The open design and natural light set off the utility of the space, which is loaded with the finest Wolf and Miele appliances.
