Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: Change of Plans

Hello there fellow football and cocktail enthusiasts. Unfortunately this week is another scramble/ thrown together post. I feel like that has become the norm the last few weeks due to re-adjusting from travel and sick kiddos. The latter reason has struck again sadly. Well… Not sick per se, but somehow nits got into our house via kindergarten or nursery school.

We found them on Sharkette’s head while getting her ready for school. Needless to say we kept her home from school and brought both kids in to get checked.

Sure enough, Sharkbait 2.0 had them as well. Mrs. Sharkbait got looked at too, and she too had fallen victim to those bastards. As for me?

Once cleared from our persons, we headed down to FOB Cape Cod to wait out the time it takes for any residual Interlopers to die off at home.

The TL:DR is my grand plan to craft, drink and write about a drink at home was shot. Having just come off rental season, the Cape bar is woefully understocked, so I outsourced the drink this week to a Polynesian place I’ve been going to as long as j can remember, and their to go Scorpion bowl. At least COVID was good for one thing…

Scorpion Bowl for 2

Divide scorpion bowl into two oversized mugs and enjoy with dinner

For a take away scorpion bowl, they sure don’t mess around. Sure it’s missing the burning 151 in the kitschy as hell but still awesome bowl, but it’s just as potent and goes really well with what is essentially Chinese comfort food. I couldn’t tell you what their mix is, but whatever black magic they do behind the bar works and is a perfect way to end a Thursday that was just a gigantic clusterfuck.

So…yeah. Hopefully next week I can get back into my rhythm of looking up, making and writing about new drinks. But sometimes you need to adapt and I think I did well here. Now if only the kids could stay healthy for seven consecutive days….
