Combining the best books with the best drinks. I’ll interview the finest writers, because one thing almost as good as reading a terrific book is talking to its author. I’ve been creating cocktails and other beverages for my favorite books for more than two decades because I wanted to celebrate the romance between words and drinks and the storytellers I admire.

    #7 - Abbott Kahler

    Abbott Kahler's wonderfully outrageous non-fiction has never been on better display than with her latest work, "Eden Undone:  A True Story of Sex, Murder, and Utopia at the Dawn of World War II." Join us as we talk about this remarkable story of murder on an unheralded Galápagos island nearly a century ago — forgotten no longer thanks to Kahler's always meticulous research coupled with her superb writing.

    #6 - Min Jin Lee / Part 2 of 2

    The second and concluding episode with Min Jin Lee. We continue our discussion about Pachinko and Free Food for Millionaires and touch on topics from racism and banned books (don’t!) to how novelists have the capacity to create real change.

    #5 - Min Jin Lee / Part 1 of 2

    This is the first of two episodes with the extraordinary Min Jin Lee. We talk about “Pachinko,” the immigrant experience - and smiling while you do the dishes. I whip up a little something called Paradise Six while this marvelous author explains how writing a book is similar to being a perfect host.

    #4 - Rebecca Serle

    Rebecca Serle’s NY Times bestselling novel, “In Five Years,” was released exactly one year ago today. No one then imagined what a year we would have or how perfect Rebecca’s book would be for these times. “In Five Years” is beautiful, funny, heartbreaking - and brilliantly life affirming. Read it now - you’ll thank me later.

    #3 - Andrew Sean Greer

    I'm kicking off the New Year by talking with Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize winning author of the bestselling novel, Less.  I've created a bubbly glass of perfection for the book (pink gin and champagne, anyone?) and that leads us into a discussion of where inspiration is found, how joy can arise from sorrow, and what to expect next from the delightful Andrew Sean Greer.

    #2 - Craig Fehrman

    A special Election Edition of Drinks With Nick. I mix up a Square Deal (thank you for that name, Teddy Roosevelt!), heavy on the bourbon and beer, before speaking with Craig Fehrman, the author this year of not one but two books concerning our Presidents:  Author in Chief, The Untold Story of Our Presidents and the Books They Wrote  and The Best Presidential Writing From 1789 to the Present.  This is an easy and important way to spend an hour while waiting for tonight’s election returns. Please join me!

    #1 - Sara Collins

    Sara Collins is the author of The Confessions of Frannie Langton, winner of the Costa First Novel Award in 2019.  I mix up a special cocktail for this incredible debut, looking for something that complements the novel's setting, Jamaica and London in the 1820s.  Then we take a deep dive into this "beautiful and haunting tale about one woman’s fight to tell her story.  The Confessions of Frannie Langton leads you through laudanum-laced dressing rooms and dark-as-night back alleys, into the enthralling heart of Georgian London." "Wide Sargasso Sea meets Beloved meets Alias Grace...deep diving, elegant."  —Margaret Atwood "Dazzlingly original."  —The Times
