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.

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.

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!

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.

Happy Malice Monday! We're back with a brand new true crime case - the Murder of Emma Austraw. April, 1919 - Emma was just 19 years old when she was brutally attacked and murdered near the school where she taught in Derry Township, PA. Three men are arrested and accused of the crime, but justice is not necessarily obtained in this case.

Our mocktail this week is called JONI! A HUGE thank you to our new friend Claire, also the founder of JONI, for sharing with us samples including Verjus Drink Blanc and Rouge. Both drinks are lightly sweet, a little tart, and made from pre-harvest grapes that are picked to give the other grapes a little more elbow room. Enjoy either as is or get creative by incorporating them into your favorite mocktail recipe of choice, or create your own recipe. Stay tuned in the coming months as Claire joins us as a guest on the show.

We have another monster episode to share with you this week with Jeff telling us all about the Fouke monster, an Arkansas legend with similar characteristics as the infamous Big Foot. Also known as the Boggy Creek Monster, the Fouke monster was allegedly first seen in the rural town of Fouke, Arkansas, in the early 1970s by a local family. Join us as we learn more about this creepy legend. This is also Jeff's debut as editor and we absolutely love his style!

In this week's episode, we have another Monsters & Mocktails special - The Legend of the Melon Heads. Emily shares with us this legend which primarily can be found in three US states: Michigan, Ohio, and Connecticut. Have you heard of this legend? Let us know, and we hope you enjoy!

Our mocktail this week is the Honeydew Lime Mocktail with Mint brought to you by flavourandsavor.com. We think that perhaps Indonesian Cinnamon by Sobreo might pair nicely with the flavor palette of this mocktail - we will be sure to try it out and report back! Also, definitely check out Sobreo (we LOVE them as you can tell!) and their unique mixers that can be incorporated into any zero proof cocktail for an extra boost of flavor.
