What Makes It Uncommon

Every month, more than 200,000 listeners download the Criminalia podcast to hear true (and often little-known) stories of history’s wildest and most devious criminals—and to get a fantastic cocktail recipe inspired by each story. After all, what pairs better with, say, an identity-shifting murderess who burned her house down to cover up a crime than a fiery jalapeño cocktail? From the hosts of Criminalia, Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi, this dangerously delicious cocktail and mocktail book raises a glass to history’s most notorious (and notoriously overlooked) criminals.

  • Beautifully made mixology recipe book for fans of true crime—and tempting drinks—written with the Criminalia hosts’ signature wit and humor.
  • Each recipe is preceded by the story of a historical crime (nothing modern), plus a unique cocktail or mocktail inspired by the case.
  • Hardcover, 256 pages, 74 color photos.
  • Printed in China.

Perfect gift for a mixologist who loves history!

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law who is a huge history buff and has a passion for mixology and the history behind cocktails, etc. The book is well written and makes it fun to recreate.


Excellent Mocktails Too!

Great and fascinating book and recipes, but also 10/10 for providing so many mocktail options throughout! Got this as a present for a friend who's hoping to have a child in the next year and that made it an extra perfect present.
