To make poisonous hemlock juice, the plant's leaves and stems are typically crushed or mashed to release the toxic compounds contained within, such as coniine and gamma-coniceine. The extracted liquid is then ingested or applied to achieve its toxic effects, which can include respiratory failure and paralysis. It is important to note that hemlock juice is extremely dangerous and should never be prepared or consumed.
Hemlock juice can vary in color depending on factors such as the part of the plant used and the stage of growth. It may range from clear to pale yellow or greenish-yellow. However, hemlock is a highly toxic plant, so it is important to avoid handling or consuming any part of it.
It's not really a juice, it's more of a tea or infusion. You make it by steeping hemlock in a solvent. I'm not providing more details because the above should be sufficient if you're writing a mystery or something, and frankly there's no good reason for you to actually make it.
Depends on how much you use - i say mixing poisons always the best bet

The famous character who died from drinking hemlock juice is Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher. He was sentenced to death in 399 BC for allegedly corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. Socrates accepted his fate calmly and consumed the poison as a means of carrying out his sentence. His death has been immortalized in various philosophical texts and discussions about ethics and morality.
