2. Richard Floyd McCoy Jr.22.07.2025 (00:13:35)

   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.

3. Jail...break? Fail08.07.2025 (00:08:00)

   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.

4. The Kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr.01.07.2025 (00:13:58)

   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.

5. The Cannes Jewel Caper24.06.2025 (00:12:27)

   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.

6. Sonnenorden Cult10.06.2025 (00:16:23)

   “Coconuts grow at the highest point of the palm, facing the sun and our luminous lord God. It gives us water, milk, coconut oil and nutritious pulp. Unique in nature, it provides humankind with the element of selenium from its fibers: one wove mats, roofs and ropes. From its trunk one built furniture and entire houses. From its pit one produced oil to drive away the darkness and to anoint the skin. Even the hollowed out empty shell made an excellent vessel from which one could manufacture bowls, spoons, tankards, indeed even buttons. Burning the empty shell finally was not only far superior to burning traditional firewood, but also an excellent means of keeping away mosquitoes and flies with its smoke. In short the coconut was perfect.” And to August Engelhardt, that perfection wasn’t just divine design…it was a blueprint for a new way of life.Bushwacker (Cocktail)2 parts aged rum2 parts Kahlua2 parts creme de cacao2 parts cream of coconut2 parts 2% milkNutmeg and shaved chocolate for garnishAdd all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.Garnish with shaved chocolate or grated nutmeg.Bushwacker (Mocktail)1 part rum syrup2 parts coffee¼ part chocolate syrup3 parts cream of coconut3 parts 2% milkNutmeg and shaved chocolate for garnishAdd all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.Garnish with shaved chocolate or grated nutmeg.-----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): bourbon, sweet vermouth, campari, orange twist for garnishIngredients for next episode (mocktail): whiskey, grape juice, tart cherry juice, orange twist for garnishNon-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.

8. The Great Italian Job27.05.2025 (00:18:47)

   You wouldn’t normally put a warlord, a painter, and a political theorist in the same room, unless you were trying to change the course of history. Literally. In the summer of 1503, Cesare Borgia, Leonardo da Vinci, and Niccolò Machiavelli found themselves tangled in the same ambitious, bizarre plan: to reroute an entire river. Not for beauty. Not even for glory. For power. This wasn’t some Renaissance dream team brought together by fate, it was strategy, desperation, and just a touch of delusion. What followed was part science experiment, part military campaign, and part slow-motion disaster. And yes, it involved canals, betrayal, flooding, a bull’s intestines, and the world’s most famous smile.Bellini (Cocktail)1 bottle prosecco3 cups frozen sliced peaches½ cup peach juice or nectar fresh sliced peaches for garnish Blend prosecco, frozen peaches and peach juice.Serve in glasses garnished with fresh sliced peaches.Bellini (Mocktail)3 cups club soda3 cups frozen sliced peaches½ cup peach juice or nectar fresh sliced peaches for garnish Blend club soda, frozen peaches and peach juice.Serve in glasses garnished with fresh sliced peaches.-----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): orange-flavored vodka, triple sec, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, orange wheelIngredients for next episode (mocktail): non-alcoholic vodka, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, orange wheelNon-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.

9. Smurfette Assault13.05.2025 (00:13:53)

   It’s a quiet afternoon at Braum’s—the kind where the biggest decision should be chocolate or vanilla, not fight or flight. But on April 7, 2024, one shopper’s routine stop took a bizarre and violent turn. A suspect lurked among the aisles before launching into an unprovoked attack. And if that wasn’t strange enough, just wait until you hear that she looked like she stepped straight out of a sci-fi movie.The Smurf (Cocktail)1 ½ parts vodka1 ½ parts blue curacao3 parts lemonadeSplash of pineapple juiceSplash of lime juicelime wheels and cherries for garnishAdd all ingredients to a shaker with ice.Shake until chilled and combined.Strain over fresh ice in a glass garnished with a lime wheel and cherries.The Smurf (Mocktail)1 ½ parts non-alcoholic vodka1 ½ parts blue curacao syrup3 parts lemonadeSplash of pineapple juiceSplash of lime juicelime wheels and cherries for garnishAdd all ingredients to a shaker with ice.Shake until chilled and combined.Strain over fresh ice in a glass garnished with a lime wheel and cherries.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): prosecco, frozen sliced peaches, peach juice or nectar, fresh sliced peaches Ingredients for next episode (mocktail): club soda, frozen sliced peaches, peach juice or nectar, fresh sliced peaches -----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.

10. The Transylvania Book Heist06.05.2025 (00:23:48)

    What do you get when a group of college students, armed with big dreams and a passion for heist movies, set their sights on a rare book collection worth millions? The answer lies in the Transylvania University book heist—an ill-fated moment marked by stun guns, stolen treasures, and a getaway that unraveled in ways no one could have predicted. It’s time for yet ANOTHER botched caper that shook an unsuspecting campus, leaving behind a trail of mistakes, bad luck, and, in the end, teenage stupidity. Trust me, this one’s a ride you won’t see coming. Well, you might see it coming.

11. A Son's Lost...and Found29.04.2025 (00:08:05)

    Winter Haven, Florida, is not known for property crimes. It has a lower rate than the US average. But, it’s even less known for motor vehicle theft. In the US, the rate is 3.19 per 1,000 people, but in Winter Haven, it’s only 1.21 per 1,000 people. It’s a pretty safe town for cars! But maybe not if your car is a beautiful, deep purple, 2023 limited edition Dodge Charger.

12. The Brilliant Brinks Robbery22.04.2025 (00:16:28)

    The lead-up to the robbery of a Brinks facility in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, on January 17, 1950 took almost three years of meticulous planning and careful surveillance. Oh, and for some reason, like way too many people. And that, my friends, would end up being their downfall. As you’ll soon see, the more people involved, the harder it is to keep a secret. Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.Midas Touch (Cocktail)1 part bourbon1 part orange liqueur½ honey syruporange twist for garnishMake a honey syrup by dissolving equal parts honey in water.Add bourbon, orange liqueur and honey syrup to a shaker with ice.Shake until chilled and combined.Strain into a chilled coupe glass garnished with an orange twist.Midas Touch (Mocktail)1 part non-alcoholic whiskey1 part orange juice½ part honey syruporange twist for garnishMake a honey syrup by dissolving equal parts honey in water.Add non-alcoholic whiskey, orange juice and honey syrup to a shaker with ice.Shake until chilled and combined.Strain into a chilled coupe glass garnished with an orange twist.-----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): tequila, Aperol, pineapple juice, lime juice, dash of agave, salt for rim, pineapple and lime wheels for garnishIngredients for next episode (mocktail): non-alcoholic tequila, bitters, pineapple juice, lime juice, dash of agave, salt for rim, pineapple and lime wheels for garnishNon-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.

13. Vanished Masterpieces08.04.2025 (00:20:56)

    “On a windy, rainy winter’s day about six months later, the museum only had one or two other callers. The grandmother timed the guard's circuits, and observed the movements of other visitors. At the moment she felt she could act unnoticed, she applied a tool to the allen bolts, working quickly and deftly. Within thirty seconds, the dome was in the child’s hands, and the gem was in her pocket.” The details may be a little bit different in real life, but Jerry Alter, who wrote these words, and Rita Alter, his wife, made off with their own version of the Eye of the Jaguar in a wild art theft in 1985 that they almost got away with forever. Pina Colada (Cocktail) 3 parts pineapple juice 2 parts cream of coconut 1 part rum several ice cubes Blend all ingredients until smooth.

14. Universal Medicine Cult01.04.2025 (00:29:16)

    Universal Medicine is a controversial healing “movement” led by Serge Benhayon that's raised eyebrows worldwide. What started in Australia has spiraled into a global network, blending unproven practices with questionable beliefs. But behind the spiritual talk, some say there's a darker side. With claims of energy healing, past-life karma, and even bizarre, and I DO mean bizarre, treatments, the group has been accused of being a cult. Spoiler alert: it’s a cult. Stick around as we dig into Universal Medicine—its rise, its followers, and the scandal that just won't go away.Buttery Nipple Shot (Cocktail)1 part butterscotch schnapps½ part irish creamAdd butterscotch schnapps to a chilled shot glass.Pour Irish cream over the back of a bar spoon to float it on top of the schnapps.Buttery Nipple Shot (Mocktail)1 part butterscotch soda½ part heavy creamAdd butterscotch soda to a chilled shot glass.Pour heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon to float it on top of the soda.-----LIVE show request! https://forms.gle/r7cdtZhfgqLSEbkF6 Podcast, and all social media links: www.capersandcocktails.com -----Ingredients for next episode (cocktail): pineapple juice, cream of coconut, rumIngredients for next episode (mocktail): pineapple juice, cream of coconut, rum syrup-----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.

    What would you do if a family tragedy suddenly splashed your name across national headlines? If strangers peered into your life, drawn by the promise of fortune—or the hint of something darker? How much is a life worth when desperation and greed collide? In today’s episode, we’re taking a journey back to 1935, where a family legacy of towering timber wealth met an ominous twist. A quiet Washington town became the stage for a chilling, high-stakes game. And at the heart of it all: an eight-year-old boy, a devastating choice, and a ransom demand that shook the nation. Before we dive into the shadows of this story, we will also toast to the Evergreen State.

    The year is 1962. Alcatraz Island, a grim, fog-shrouded fortress off the coast of San Francisco, looms large in the American imagination. They call it "The Rock”: an impossible to escape island where the most hardened criminals are sent to rot. Life within its concrete walls is a monotonous grind: terrible meals that all taste the same, work assignments that repeat without end, and the constant surveillance that permeates every aspect of an inmate's existence. Twelve checks a day of the prisoner’s was standard protocol! No wonder John, Clarence, Allen and Frank were ready to get the heck off the Rock.
