Fans are now eager to know where to buy the Sandworm Slayer Beetlejuice 2 drink. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is all the rage right now following its recent release this month. To add to the excitement surrounding it, a promotional drink in honor of the movie is available for purchase.

Here is everything we know about the Sandworm Slayer drink and why some are mad about its price.
Where to buy the Sandworm Slayer drink from Beetlejuice 2
The Sandworm Slayer drink from Beetlejuice 2 is available exclusively at AMC Theatres.
This special concoction was dropped in honor of the movie’s release this September. It is a blue-colored 24-ounce cocktail topped with gummy worms. As per The Hollywood Reporter, the drink contains blue and black raspberry juice, along with vodka.
Beetlejuice fans will recognize the sandworm reference from both the original 1988 classic as well as its recent sequel. For those unaware, in the first movie, sandworms were found in the otherworldly desert landscape. It was where the recently deceased Barbara and Adam Maitland found themselves whenever they stepped out of their home. The sandworm makes its return in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as well.
How much does Beetlejuice 2’s Sandworm Slayer drink cost?
The Beetlejuice 2’s Sandworm Slayer drink retails at $21 plus tax in all AMC theatres, except at those in Illinois.
Many fans have already taken to the internet to share pictures of this special drink, which is served in a tall plastic cup. The gummy worms added on top seem to represent the sandworm theme of it.
Why is Beetlejuice 2’s Sandworm Slayer drink so expensive in Illinois’ AMC theaters?
The Sandworm Slayer drink costs a whopping $31 in Illinois AMC theatres. This is because of the state’s unique liquor pricing laws.
When alerted about the complaints made by a few fans on social media, AMC deftly released a statement clarifying the situation. As mentioned above, the drink is not just any usual blue soda. It is actually a cocktail and hence contains alcohol. Because of Illinois’s liquor laws, the price of the sandworm drink has been raised to $28.25, plus tax. Apparently, the drink was purchased in Illinois, hence the bumped-up price.
