Cocalero is an herbal spirit made from the South American coca leaf along with 16 other plants. It’s often enjoyed ice-cold, used as a replacement for rum in a mojito, and can be enjoyed in cocktails. This new drink will be getting a “Biohazard” edition to its design, which fits its sharp bright green color that’s very reminiscent of the zombies ofResident Evil.
Resident Evilhas been on the rise as of late. With an upcoming Netflix movie this summer, a live-action movie reboot on the way, and an eighth video game installment that broke the internet this month due to itstall female antagonist named Lady Dimitrescu, it’s safe to say that the zombie franchisewill be here to stay for a while. Now it’s breaking territory that many video game properties don’t enter, which is food, beverages, and desserts.
Resident Evilis a long-running series and has stood tall amongstits other survival horror competitors. It stands out for the reason of having multiple movie installments, multiple sub-series, animated movies, comics, novels, merchandise, and now even its own limited drink.Silent Hill, Amnesia, Dead Space(to name a few) are not as prominent as of now. Right now, there isn’t much competition besides the recent titles that gamers are enjoying, such asOutlastandEvil Within.
Some may put off by this upcoming product. It’s not safe to say thateveryone in theResident Evilfanbasedrinks alcohol and with the new beverage being limited, this may be more of a collector’s item than something to drink and enjoy. Here’s to hoping that Capcom releases more edible products related to their properties that much more of its fanbase can and enjoy. Despite that, this is a great start and a great move for the critically acclaimed survival horror franchise.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darknesswill be available on July 8th on Netflix
