FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions)
Q. Does Red Lobster have Shrimp Cocktail?
Yes, one of ReLobster’s most popular appetizers is a Signature Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail. It comes with size-cold jumbo shrimp accompanied by their savory, house-made cocktail sauce, along with some lemon wedges. This delicate, delicious appetizer is a favorite among seafood lovers who like to start their meal with something cool and refreshing. It’s available at most locations.
Q. Why did Red Lobster stop serving Shrimp Cocktail?
I couldn’t track down solid proof that Red Lobster has entirely “stopped serving” shrimp cocktail of any sort anywhere — there are still Shrimp or Jumbo Shrimp Cocktails at many locations.
What they did was end or scale down the “Ultimate Endless Shrimp” promotion, which offered endless shrimp. That transaction was permanently priced and caused the company to take large financial losses.
Q. What is a Red Lobster Lobsterita?
The Lobsterita is Red Lobster’s classic jumbo margarita, which was first a part of its line in 2002, but has come in signature flavors over the years, including classic, strawberry, peach, and raspberry. It can be served frozen or on the rocks.
Q. Are Red Lobster cocktails strong/alcoholic?
Yes, their cocktails are indeed alcoholic and based on standard booze (rum, tequila, vo, or whiskey). There are always some drinks, such as the Long Island Iced Tea or Lobsterita, that are stronger than others.
Q. How much does a cocktail cost at Red Lobster?
Cocktail prices are generally dependent on the drink and location, with most in the $7.99 to $10.99 range, depending on ingredients and size.
