A decorated Vietnam veteran and devout Mormon, Richard Floyd McCoy Jr. was not the kind of guy you would expect to do…what he did. If you had met him back then, you'd probably assume he was on track for a long, respectable career in public service. But underneath that polished surface, something was brewing. It was something nobody saw coming, and when it finally surfaced, it left the country stunned and scrambling for answers.White Russian (Cocktail)2 parts vodka1 part Kahlúa1 part heavy creamAdd the vodka and Kahlúa to a glass filled with ice.Top with the heavy cream and stir.White Russian (Mocktail)2 parts non-alcoholic vodka½ part coffee½ part simple syrup1 part heavy creamAdd the vodka, coffee, and simple syrup to a glass filled with ice.Top with the heavy cream and stir.Non-alcoholic vodka: http://tinyurl.com/boozefreevodka -----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): grapefruit juice, orange pineapple juice, tequila, grapefruit sodaIngredients for next episode (mocktail): grapefruit juice, orange pineapple juice, non-alcoholic tequila, grapefruit sodaNon-alcoholic tequila: https://tinyurl.com/boozefreetequila -----Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

When we think about jail, one thing feels pretty obvious, I would think: it's a place people generally try to stay out of. Whether it's for a short stint or a long sentence, crossing that barbed wire usually means someone made some serious mistakes. But every now and then, a story comes along that flips the script entirely. Maybe not every now and then, actually. But this story might leave you blinking at the headline, and wondering…wait, what? Today, a story that involves meth, wire cutters, a broken window, and a man so determined... he wasn’t trying to escape from jail. He was trying to break in. And trust me: this wasn’t a drunken mistake or a wrong turn. It was a full-on plan.Jailbreak (Cocktail)1 part amaretto1 part whiskey3 parts Guinness3 parts coke2 parts Kahlua Pour Guinness and coke into a wine glass. Mix Kahlua, whiskey, and amaretto separately, with some crushed ice. Pour over the Guinness and coke. Serve unstirred.Jailbreak (Mocktail)1 drop almond extract1 part non-alcoholic whiskey3 parts Guinness 03 parts coke2 parts coffee Pour Guinness 0 and coke into a wine glass. Mix coffee, whiskey, and almond extract separately, with some crushed ice. Pour over the Guinness 0 and coke. Serve unstirred.Non-alcoholic whiskey: https://tinyurl.com/noboozewhiskey -----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): vodka, Kahlúa, heavy creamIngredients for next episode (mocktail): non-alcoholic vodka, coffee, simple syrup, heavy creamNon-alcoholic vodka: http://tinyurl.com/boozefreevodka -----Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Sometimes a story sounds so outrageous, so bizarre, that you wonder how it could possibly be true. A young singer, a famous last name, a quiet resort town, and a plan so reckless that it could only have come from desperation, or madness. Before the night was over, one of the biggest names in entertainment would find himself in the middle of a crime that captured the attention of the entire country. It is a story of fear, fame, bad decisions, and a ripple effect that lasted for decades. So pour yourself a drink, get comfortable, and let’s talk about a crime that could only have happened in the strange, glittering world of old Hollywood.Rusty Nail (Cocktail)1 1/2 parts scotch3/4 part DrambuieAdd scotch and Drambuie into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.Rusty Nail (Mocktail)2 parts ginger ale2 parts orange juice1/2 part honeyDash of bittersAdd orange juice, bitters and honey to a shaker with ice.Shake until chilled.Strain over fresh ice and top with ginger ale.-----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): amaretto, whiskey, Guinness, coke, Kahlua Ingredients for next episode (mocktail): amaretto, non-alcoholic whiskey, Guinness 0 coke, Kahlua Non-alcoholic whiskey: https://tinyurl.com/noboozewhiskey -----Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

Ah, Cannes: where the Mediterranean shimmers like a spilled cocktail of sunlight and salt, and luxury drips from every corner like vintage champagne. Nestled on the French Riviera, this glittering seaside town is best known for its red carpets, private yachts, and movie-star mystique. During the summer, Cannes transforms into a playground for the ultra-rich and internationally famous, with beachfront hotels like the Carlton standing as both icons of elegance and, as it turns out, perfect marks for the bold and the brazen. It’s a place where diamonds sparkle, and sometimes disappear.Boulevardier (Cocktail)1 part bourbon1 part sweet vermouth1 part campariorange twist for garnishCombine the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and campari in a mixing glass filled with ice.Stir the mixture well until it is thoroughly chilled.Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.Garnish with an orange twist.Boulevardier (Mocktail)1 part non-alcoholic whiskey1 part grape juice1 part tart cherry juiceorange twist for garnishCombine the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and campari in a mixing glass filled with ice.Stir the mixture well until it is thoroughly chilled.Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.Garnish with an orange twist.Non-alcoholic whiskey: https://tinyurl.com/noboozewhiskey -----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): scotch, DrambuieIngredients for next episode (mocktail): ginger ale, orange juice, honey, dash of bitters-----Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.
