On September 6, 1949, Howard Unruh walked out onto his street in Camden, NJ, and within 20 minutes had killed 13 of his neighbors and wounded three. This week I will share with you the case of the first mass shooter in US history, Howard Unruh.  This week's mocktail is inspired by a copycat cocktail my friend Tom found on Diznify.com. It is called Galaxy's Edge Jedi Mind Trick and the original can be found at Oga's Cantina in Disney World's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Below is my zero proof version:  Zero Proof Jedi Mind Trick  7.5 oz Grapefruit flavored sparkling water 1 oz Welches white grape juice 1 oz Orgeat; I used Liber & Co., but you can make your own and there are other brands. 2 tsp blue curacao syrup; look for alcohol free versions Juice from half a lime A few dashes of grapefruit bitters    Step 1 - Combine all ingredients into a shaker filled with ice, shake or stir, then strain into your favorite vessel.

Hi friends! I posted some to social media last week about this, but there won’t be a new episode out until next Monday, July 25. A few travel conflicts prevented me from recording and editing in time to publish today. Apologies! I hope everyone has a great week.

81 minutes. That is how long it took for two men to commit the biggest art heist in history. To this day, the 13 works of art that were stolen are still missing.

The untimely deaths of Isabella Ruxton and Mary Rogerson took place on September 15, 1935. Their dismembered bodies were discovered in a ravine over two weeks after their deaths and Buck Ruxton, Isabella's husband and a well liked local surgeon, is the prime suspect. This case helped bring forensic science techniques to the forefront of criminal investigations, specifically in the UK.   You can contact me at [email protected] or on IG @maliceandmocktails.
