Welcome to Season 4 – Episode 4!

This week, we’re taking a sharp left turn from Kansas and landing in Miami Beach. In July of 1997, world-renowned fashion icon Gianni Versace was gunned down on the steps of his own mansion.

And at the center of it all? A social climber named Andrew Cunanan.

Today, we’re digging into how a kid from San Diego spiraled into a cross-country killing spree, how he managed to stay one step ahead of the entire country for three months, and how it all ended in Miami leaving the fashion world in shambles.

Let's break down the chaos that Cunanan left behind. Grab your drink, because the poison in this episode is The Red Carpet.

If you want to drink with us, you’ll need vodka, Campari, pomegranate liqueur, lemon, and simple syrup.

The Red Carpet:

• 1 1/2 ounces vodka
• 1 ounce Campari
• 1 ounce pomegranate liqueur
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• Lemon slice, for garnish

Shake the all ingredients with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with lemon - or don’t.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 3!

This week, we’re heading to Wichita, Kansas. The quiet little town that wasn’t so quiet once BTK showed up.

Bind. Torture. Kill. That’s what he called himself. And for thirty years, he hid behind the mask of a husband, father, church leader, and city code enforcer while secretly turning his darkest fantasies into reality.

My sister Kirrah is joining me this week to unpack how a man that ordinary managed to fool everyone including his family, his congregation, and even the cops.

Grab your drink, because the poison in this episode is The Forbidden Sour.

If you want to drink with us, you’ll need bourbon, lemon juice, pomegranate syrup, and simple syrup.

The recipe for The Forbidden Sour is as follows:

• 2 oz Bourbon
• 3/4 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1/2 oz Pomegranate Liqueur (or Grenadine)
• 1/4 oz Simple Syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Shake all ingredients with ice until chilled, then strain into a rocks glass over ice. Garnish with a lemon twist if you’re feeling fancy.

Enjoy!

Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 2!

**THIS EPISODE HAS SOUND ISSUES**

This week, we're going to blast off (literally) into one of the strangest true stories in American history: Heaven’s Gate.

In 1997, 39 people dressed in identical black outfits and Nike Decades “left their vehicles” in hopes of catching a ride on a UFO trailing the Hale–Bopp comet. Behind the headlines were Marshall Applewhite (a fallen preacher’s kid turned prophet) and Bonnie Nettles (a nurse turned spiritual guide) who built a belief system that mixed Theosophy, UFOs, and the Book of Revelation into one cosmic cocktail of control.

Sal is with me again to unpack how it started with a Presbyterian boy from Texas and a New Age nurse...and how it ended, with purple shrouds, poisoned applesauce, and a spaceship that never came.

Grab your drink, and let’s talk about the cult that tried to evacuate Earth, the poison in this episode is the Cosmonaut.

If you want to drink with us, you will need lime juice, vodka, cardamom bitters, ginger liquer.

The recipe for the Cosmonaut is as follows:

• 1 1/2 oz La Poire Flavored Vodka
• 1 dash Cardamom Bitters
• 1 oz Lime juice
• 3/4 oz Ginger Liqueur

Fill cocktail shaker with ice, add ingerdients, shake ingredients until chilled. Strain into cocktail glass over an ice sphere. Optional: Garnish with a candy dusted grape.

Enjoy!
