The two year old was supposed to get apple juice to wash down his food at an Applebee's. Instead he was served a margarita. The child grew drowsy and started throwing up a few hours after drinking the cocktail.
Applebee's says it keeps the apple juice and margarita mix in identical plastic bottles -- leading to the mistake.
The child's mother says she "wasn't going to make a big deal about it" until the child had to be rushed to the hospital. The toddler is fine now, and the company plans to reimburse the family's medical expenses.
The restaurant, in Antioch, says it will change the containers to prevent future mix-ups.
