Alien Theatrical Movie Poster / 20th Century Fox
Alien, the movie that started the once venerable franchise was released in the US on May 25, 1979. This film was the second feature film by director Ridley Scott. It was Sigourney Weaver’s first major role and led to a string of successful films for the actress. The tropes of the series are established in this film and its special effects still hold up over 40 years later.
While we wait for the release of the UAP report, I thought it would be nice to create a theme menu for each of the films excluding the two prequel movies. For each of these movies, I am crafting 6 drinks that reflect each of these films.
