The thrilling and gore-y world of 28 Days Later took the 2000s era of horror by storm. With its zombie virus outbreak and compassionate characters, it’s no wonder why it drew in fans of all genres. Though, nearly 13 years later, this original story has much more to tell in its third movie of the series, 28 Years Later. We’re gearing up for one of the most highly-anticipated horror movies of the year with a cocktail that brings the Virus to life. 28 Years Later: The Virus Cocktail is a simple gin seltzer that receives a fruity twist the second you insert the syringe of cranberry simple syrup. Needless to say you’ll be able to imagine your bloodstream slowly being taken over as the deep red simple syrup flows into the clear cocktail.
What is 28 Years Later About?
28 Years Later is the third installment of the 28 Days Later series of films. The main premise for these films follows society as it grapples with a raging virus that takes over their victims, sending them into a zombie-like state. This newest movie takes place three decades after the virus’ release. A group of survivors including actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jodie Comer have created a new society on an island connected to the mainland by a single and heavily blocked entrance. After one decides to head into the mainland and finds a new mutation, they figure out that even the survivors are no longer safe from the virus’ effects.
