In Annihilation, “Lena, a biologist and former soldier, joins a mission to uncover what happened to her husband inside Area X – a sinister and mysterious phenomenon that is expanding across the American coastline. Once inside, the expedition discovers a world of mutated landscape and creatures, as dangerous as it is beautiful, that threatens both their lives and their sanity. From visionary director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later) and based on the acclaimed best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation stars Natalie Portman, Oscar Isaac, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Gina Rodriguez and Tuva Novotny.”

Cocktail Recipes | Movie Recipes | Sci-Fi Recipes | Gin | Excited for the release of the sci-fi thriller Annihilation, The Geeks have created an opalescent cocktail called The Shimmer. 2geekswhoeat.comOur Shimmer cocktail is inspired by its namesake. It is visually striking but still mysterious. We really wanted to create a cocktail that not only tasted good but would impress anyone you’d make it for. The use of edible shimmer dust adds a new level of visual appeal without changing the flavor of the cocktail. It is available at most craft stores in the baking section. It also comes in a variety of colors. We used plain white shimmer dust so that the color of our ingredients was highlighted and given an opaque quality.

We hope you love our cocktail, The Shimmer. Of course we aren’t leaving you without a little extra something! We are giving away 5 pairs of screening passes for an advanced showing of Annihilation! The showing will be held on Wednesday, February 21st at Harkins Tempe Marketplace. The screening starts at 7 pm and the winners should arrive at 6:20 pm in order to guarantee their seating. Winners will be selected on Tuesday, February 20th. Good luck! Annihilation Poster
