Beetlejuice Beetlejuicefans can sip on a themed cocktail while watching the new movie.

AMC Theatres is selling a “Sandworm Slayer” cocktail in a nod to a creature in the long-awaited sequel starringWinona Ryder,Catherine O’Hara,Jenna OrtegaandMichael Keaton.

The very blue iced cocktail is made with raspberry flavor and vodka and topped with sour candy worms, according to the AMC website. However, it’s not the colorful nature of the drink that is catching fan’s attention — it’s the price.

Social media users have shared photos of their adult beverages in theaters, while also expressing their shock at the price, which several have claimed is anywhere between $21 and $31.

One user,Andrew Woods, is going viral on X for sharing a photo of his Sandworm Slayer on the platform.

“I bought the AMC BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE themed drink. It cost $31 dollars…” he wrote on the post that has almost 7 million views.

One person commented, “That’s just blue Kool-Aid with Gummy Worms on top,” while another quipped, “It better be bottomless for $31.”
