The Cannes Jewel Caper
Episode 19
Tuesday, 24 June, 2025

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.
