Breezy cocktail book with tales of a variety of crimes and criminals. Recipes appear to be achievable by most readers with ingredients which are easily obtained. Recommended for fans of true crime podcasts as well as those looking for inspiration for new cocktails.

Fun for everyone! Especially those that like a good cocktail while getting into a murder book or podcast. I loved the recipes and the fun facts scattered throughout the book and will definitely buy myself a copy for my wet bar!

I love a good cookbook, but I’ve never read a cocktail book before this one. It was interesting and I loved the facts scattered through. I’m definitely making some of these recipes when I get a shot!

I found Killer Cocktails to be an engaging and visually stunning cocktail guide that makes it a fun experience even for those who don't drink often. The vibrant, detailed photos throughout the book really bring each recipe to life, offering a visual cue for what to expect and how to present the drinks. Even if you're just experimenting for fun like me, the pictures inspire creativity and encourage you to try new combinations of ingredients. The artistic flair of each image adds to the excitement of crafting cocktails, making the process feel more like an enjoyable, hands-on adventure rather than just mixing drinks. It's a great choice for anyone who enjoys experimenting in the kitchen or bar, regardless of their drinking habits.

I thought this cocktail book would have been a lot better if there were actual photos of the drinks, not just a sloppy cartoon image of them. That was lazy for a recipe book. And the drinks were all very very plain

I really loved that this cocktail book is so much more than what it seems. Not only does it provide delicious drinks, but every drink comes with a fascinating short story about a crime that links to the cocktail. I also really loved the addition of mocktails for every drink for people that prefer to remain sober. This also included a recipe with the mocktail first out of respect for someone that developed alcoholism as a result of the crime. Overall really well done, I’d for sure buy this one as a gift for a friend.

Thank you to NetGalley & Hachette for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Interesting and unique concept, wonderful cocktail recipes. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cool cocktail book to add to your collection.

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Hachette Books, Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi for giving me an ARC of this unique cocktail book!

While my husband is the bartender in our home, I'm the reader, and this book allowed us to share our passions with one another. Each cocktail has a tale to go with it, adding another layer to the enjoyment. I especially enjoy the "make it a mocktail" section which allows us to enjoy the recipes with all our friends, even those who don't drink (at all or at this moment). We're slowly working our way through the recipes and enjoying the story that accompanies each one.

This cookbook (drink book?) is amazing! I loved the spooky blurbs before the cocktail recipes. The cocktails all seem to be easy to make at home and I love the inclusion of mocktails making it more daily use friendly.

I was not expecting such a fun book when I first read the premise of this cookbook, so it was a very pleasent surprise when I opened it up.

Thanks for this opportunity to read and review this one!

Cover Rating: 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love the creativeness of this cocktail book you get some true crime stories along with so many different recipes. The flow and the layout of the book was good and I loved how it had the alcoholic versions of the cocktails but also had the non-alcoholic versions for a mocktail if you wanted I think that’s such a cool and inclusive idea. Personally I can’t wait to try out some of these recipes for myself.

Thank you NetGalley.

Mixing 2 of my favorites—true crime & fun drinks?! Sign me up! I love how it is seperated into different types of crime. Seriously, this cocktail recipe book is such a cool/fun concept. I love that each yummy bevvy can be made non-alcoholic as they have each recipe listed. Learning each person’s story and then having a drink that goes along with it is so fun! The drinks are all so different and so interesting. I cannot wait to try as many as I can—and thanks to the mocktail options, I don’t have to wait until 5 o’clock. Also, TIL that those shot glasses on the handle is called jiggers—so this book is a 3-in-1. I learned a lot!

Where are my True Crime Fans at???

The hosts of the criminally popular podcast Criminalia, Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi, created a dangerously delicious cocktail and mocktail book inspired by history’s most notorious (and notoriously overlooked) criminals!

Going on nearly 7 months of no drinking, I have been loving making mocktails! #KillerCocktails not only has cocktail recipes, but an alternative mocktail recipe for each drink!

This book is publishing just in time for your Halloween parties! I can just picture little table markers listing the drink with the corresponding true crime blurb! 🔪☠️🧪

While some of the ingredients may be a little difficult to obtain, you won’t want to miss this book! From fruit, to teas, to ice cream, #KillerCocktails has a drink for everyone!

I will definitely be picking up a physical copy when it is available.

Publish Date: October 15th

An interesting spooky twist filled with stories and delicious drinks!

I love how each drink is accompanied with a story to explain its inspiration.

Um....yes!!! This book is great! The short stories on criminals paired with a cocktail is awesome. But even better, each cocktail has its own mocktail conversion recipe! I didn't know bitters had alcohol...and I didn't know there was a such thing as alcohol saline! I can't wait to try some of these recipes!

What a creative idea for a book! Combines true crime stories with dozens of recipes inspired by them, such as Poison Society Punch, The Botanist's Latte, and the Hopeless Romantic. Delish fun!
