Episode 4: Howard Unruh's Walk of Death
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.
