    An Anthology of Horse Racing Crimes

    Did you know that horse racing is associated with a number of crimes? Neither did we until Emily stumbled upon a rabbit hole of information. Join us this week as Emily tells us all about horse racing crimes and those who perpetrate them.

    Our mocktail this week is an alcohol free mint julep brought to you by Nat at the Mindful Mocktail.



    On a non true crime note, Katie is starting a financial coaching business (side hustle) called Clear Cents Coaching. If you are struggling with managing your money, paying down debt and sticking with a plan, she can help. You can contact her at katie@clearcentscoaching.com for more info!

    The Murder of William Guldensuppe

    Happy new year! We're back with a brand new episode. Katie tells us about the murder of William Guldensuppe, an attendant at a local Turkish bath in 1890s New York City. Several packages of remains are found in June 1897 across the island of Manhattan, and it is soon discovered that the remains belong to William. Police arrest two suspects...Augusta Nack who was William's lover, and Martin Nack...her current lover. Join us as we dive into this case with mocktails in hand.

    A Brief History of Joan of Arc with Claire, creator of JONI

    A Brief History of Joan of Arc with Claire, creator of JONI

    Hey mockstars! We have a really cool episode this week and we're joined by our new friend, Claire, creator of JONI. JONI celebrates a long overlooked and upcycled ingredient that's been around for millennia: verjus. Claire shares with us her inspiration behind the name - Joan of Arc - and both their stories, and we are 100% here for it! You can find JONI online at drinkjoni.com and all over social media. We might be biased but we love both the Rouge and Blanc over at Malice & Mocktails HQ. Highly recommend.

    Monsters & Mocktails: Halloween Episode, the Rougarou

    Monsters & Mocktails: Halloween Episode, the Rougarou

    Happy Spooky Season!! This week Emily tells us about the rougarou, the legendary Cajun werewolf. The rougarou was often used as a cautionary tale for children and adults alike. If you have ever experienced a rougarou let us know!

    Our zero proof drink this week is very fitting - it is the Rougarou coffee blend by French Truck Coffee. They typically offer this every year around this time and it is so good! This blend is made up of Honduran and Colombian coffee and has notes of praline, caramel, and chocolate brownie sweetness. Emily also wanted to shout out Clearly Canadian which she loves!

    The Murderous Kelly Family, Episode 41

    The Murderous Kelly Family, Episode 41

    Happy Malice Monday! This week Emily tells us about the murderous Kelly family. If you have not listened to last week's episode about the Bender family you may want to go have a listen, but this episode can stand on its own we think. We do compare the two families at the end and we are so eager to hear what y'all think of these two cases. Let us know in the Q&A or DM us on Instagram.

    This week's mocktail is brought to you by Cookchaos.com, and the full recipe can be found here: https://www.cookchaos.com/bramble-mocktail/

    The Bramble Mocktail sounds so incredibly refreshing and is made from fresh blackberry syrup, simple syrup and lemon juice.

    Our promo this week is for Crime Bae Podcast! Crime Bae is hosted by three friends that talk about all things strange, weird, sadistic, spooky, illegal, and just plain crazy. Please check them out wherever you get your podcasts.

Versatility

Love how Emily & Katie change things up with a ghost story. They keep their content fresh & always interesting. Even though the the topic can be dark they are always respectful, researched & a fun listen. Check them out!

bryantreat ,

They give good pod.

Stories here are lesser known but research is great and they are presented in a very engaging way. Really good stuff. Got a road trip soon? You’re all set.

$kittyworld$ ,

Love a twist!

These two definitely work well together. No only do they find great stories to tell, they’re stories we haven’t heard yet! And, love the twist of highlighting a Mocktail…great decision- not everyone wants/can drink alcohol. Great job ladies!
