Hello and happy long weekend Friday everyone. I’m checking in from Forward Operating Base: Cape Cod this week. I’ve been isolating here since I went to Las Vegas for a bachelor party last week. Given that Sharkette isn’t vaccinated yet (looking at you FDA. You have Moderna data, review it!)

Happy cocktail Friday! I'm excited to bring a new spirit to the arsenal of booze I keep in the bar. But first a little bit of back story. I wanted to make a tropical drink this week (a mai tai specifically) but was lacking orgeat syrup. When discussing how to

Happy Derby eve! I found it somewhat hard to believe in my couple years writing about drinks, I've yet to make a mint julep. This needs to be rectified immediately. Especially since I'm going to be serving them to a small gathering we're hosting for the Derby, so I should

Happy Friday and day 2 of the NFL draft. I missed the first round last night but it seems like I missed a decent amount: The Jets and Giants did a good?! AJ Brown to the Eagles! Hollywood Brown to the Cardinals in what I assume was some sort of mix-up where they

Sharkbait’s Cocktail Of The Week: Room For Improvement

Happy Friday before a long weekend (for me at least).Monday is Patriots day up here in Massachusetts, and I took it off since Mrs. Sharkbait already had it off. Patriots Day is also Marathon Monday, and we are going to meet some friends that came up from New York to

Happy Friday and day 2 of the Masters. I usually don't watch too much golf, unless it's one of these major tournaments, and even then it's more of an excuse to fuck off from work for most of the day. I enjoy playing a game of whack fuck every now

Hello and happy Friday once again. This week's drink is one I had originally wanted to make last week, until a friend told me about the Elder Fashioneds he was enjoying recently so I shifted making this one to this week. Coming to me via the Cointreau website, we have the Devil's

Happy Friday and day 2 of the NCAA tournament. I'm willing to bet there wont be a lot of work going on today. Hopefully, your brackets aren't complete trash yet. I just checked mine in the DFO pool, and I'm in the middle of the pack. Much better than I

Sharkbait - March 11, 2022March 11, 2022

Happy Friday, we made it through another week again! This week I'm deviating somewhat from the usual recipe making that I do, and instead doing a sort of Cocktail of the Week: On The Road post. Unlike the last two times I did on the road reports, I will not
