Wicked fever is sweeping through Brisbane with the final instalment Wicked For Good now showing at. To get you hyped for the movie, we’ve rounded up some epic pre-cinema bites and drinks, all in a various hue of Elphaba’s signature green. So, grab your best emerald outfit and treat yourself to a wicked spread of cocktails, nibbles, and all things green before you hit the Cinema at Cineplex South Bank.

‍

Baba Ganouj
Looking for a pre-movie bite that hits all the right notes? Baba Ganouj has you covered. Their green spicy cucumber marg is bold, fresh and seriously punchy with chili-infused tequila, Lebanese cucumber, triple sec, fresh citrus and a spiced rim. Pair it with hand-rolled vine leaves filled with slow-cooked tomato, parsley, onion and lemon for a snack that’s light, flavour-packed and perfect for kicking off your night.

‍

Poca Madre
For a fully green feast, Poca Madre delivers. The Co Kiwi Marg mixes Teremana Blanco tequila, zesty lime, fresh muddled kiwi and house-infused coconut syrup for a bright, tropical sip. Match it with chido guac loaded with crushed avo, pickled onions, coriander, tajin, olive oil and fresh lime, served with crispy corn chips. It’s the perfect combo for sharing or keeping all to yourself before the film.

Ma Pa Me
Keep things fresh and zesty with Ma Pa Me’s coconut chicken salad. Tender poached chicken tossed with oak leaf, kaffir lime, roasted peanuts, coriander, coconut and a hint of chili hits the balance between light and satisfying. It’s a smart, flavour-packed choice to fuel you up without feeling heavy before the big screen.

‍

Calida
Want to go all out? Calida’s juicy steaks with signature green chimichurri and Australian red gum salt are a proper indulgence. The 300-gram sirloin is a standout for steak lovers and will have you leaving the table full and happy before the cinema.

Harajuku Gyoza
Start with everyone’s favourite green snack, edamame, tossed in garlic, chili and soy. Move on to vegetable gyoza with ponzu sauce and finish with their limited-edition melon cream soda, packed with melon soda, vanilla ice cream and a Maraschino cherry. Sweet, playful and totally Instagram-worthy, it’s a fun way to cap off your pre-movie eats.
