Drinks With Nick
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.

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."
