Cream & Crime brings back the creamy, colorful cocktail culture of the 1970s with a forensic twist. Part nostalgia, part recipe book, and part playful case file, Dr. Mozelle Martin presents 13 cocktail “suspects”, combining classic ice-cream drinks with original creations inspired by crime, investigation, and behavioral archetypes.
Inside are retro favorites including the Grasshopper, Brandy Alexander, Pink Squirrel, Golden Cadillac, and Hummer, alongside original drinks such as The Accomplice, The Inside Job, The Forger, The Double Cross, The Getaway Car, The Cold Case, and The Pink Alibi. Each case includes ingredients, preparation instructions, profile notes, and a full-color presentation.
The book also includes an Evidence Locker covering equipment, glassware, spirits, garnishes, and preparation basics, along with guidance for hosting a Cream & Crime tasting night. A batching section provides scaled recipes for serving groups, while the final chapters include practical ideas for turning the concept into an adults-only private-event side hustle.
For retro-cocktail fans, supper-club nostalgists, party hosts, and anyone who thinks dessert tastes better with an alibi, Cream & Crime is a colorful return to an era when the blender belonged behind the bar.
