Killer Cocktails

From the hosts of the criminally popular podcast Criminalia, a dangerously delicious cocktail and mocktail book inspired by history’s most notorious (and notoriously overlooked) criminals.

Every month, over 200,000 listeners download Criminalia to hear stories of history’s wildest and most devious criminals they never knew existed. But this isn't just any true-crime podcast—more than an engaging history lesson, Criminalia also offers a cocktail recipe to go with each criminal. After all, what pairs better with the story of an identity-shifting murderess who burned her house down to cover up a crime than a fiery jalapeño cocktail?    

In Killer Cocktails, Criminalia cohosts Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi offer readers a cornucopia of creative and out-of-the-box cocktail and mocktail recipes, inspired by some of the wildest, weirdest, and most bizarre crimes throughout history. From brutish bodysnatchers and comely conwomen, to poisonous chemists, nefarious mystics, and even a pirate queen, this book is perfect for anyone who loves a juicy, bloody story and a creative concoction. 

History and true crime lovers, cocktail and mocktail enthusiasts, and anyone looking for the perfect gift for their off-beat friend will find much to savor in this wickedly fun book.  Brimming with stranger-than-fiction stories and recipes that are equally thought-provoking and tasty, Killer Cocktails is a double-shot of morbid fun—and will satisfy all your darkest cravings for years to come.
