In today’s episode, WE CHAT with Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi, the minds behind the podcast Criminalia and the new book Killer Cocktails: Dangerous Drinks Inspired by History’s Most Nefarious Criminals. This dynamic duo has crafted 144 drink recipes inspired by some of the most intriguing and infamous figures in history—from poisoners in ancient Rome to pirates seeking revenge on the high seas. But the magic doesn’t stop at the cocktails—each recipe includes a mocktail version, ensuring that everyone can enjoy these stories and drinks alike.

We dive into their creative process, exploring how they selected stories to pair with drinks, their thoughts on balancing humor with darker tales, and their philosophy behind ensuring each recipe works as both a cocktail and a mocktail. Whether you’re a history buff, a true crime fanatic, or just love a good drink, this conversation will leave you both entertained and inspired to try something new.
