Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Search Continues

Sharkbait - October 15, 2021October 15, 2021

At the risk of sounding like Captain Ahab, I'm beginning to think allspice dram is my white whale. After searching a few different places where I am, I cannot seem to find this mysterious liqueur. So my plan of making the cocktail mentioned in the beginning's of last week's post

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Alternate Plans

Sharkbait - October 8, 2021October 8, 2021

Don't you hate that feeling when you're one random ingredient away from cooking/mixing something that sounds fantastic? Well, that's my position at this current moment. I won't reveal the recipe I'm looking at since (hopefully) I'll be able to do it in the near future, but it is frustrating when

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Beggars Can’t Be Choosers

Sharkbait - October 1, 2021October 1, 2021

Happy...October Friday? Where the hell did this year go? How is it already October? I was not consulted on this, and I do not approve. I am very much a summer person, despite my appreciation of fall (and winter) sports and enjoyment of Fall and Winter holidays. Apparently being in

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Ein Prosit!

Sharkbait - September 24, 2021September 25, 2021

Guten Tag meine Freunde! If the title and the first line of this week's post hasn't clued you in, there is a German theme this week. Mainly because Oktoberfest was supposed to have started this week in Munich. Oktoberfest is the worlds largest beer festival, lasting from mid September until

Sharkbait - September 17, 2021September 17, 2021

We made it to Friday once again. Congratulations to all of us. This week was a slog for yours truly. Though that will happen on the first week back from vacation. So I needed something to celebrate the end of the week, and I felt a whiskey based drink would

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Don’t Give Up

Sharkbait - September 10, 2021September 10, 2021

Happy Short week Friday! I’ve been looking forward to this week’s drink for a little while now. The reason being I was going to make it while on vacation on the Cape. Why the Cape? Well, my supply of Fernet Branca has been living there for a little while and

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Season Finale – Meatball Sub on a Freshly Made Roll. You kidding Me over here?

Holy shit everyone, we made it. Seven. Fucking. Months later and we've officially put a bow on season SEVEN of Sunday Gravy. This shit is equal parts love and equal parts goddamn pain in the ass but it's the love that ultimately holds truest. Plus I just really love to fucking cook.

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Barbados Slim

Sharkbait - September 3, 2021September 3, 2021

Barbados? Again?? That's right. For the second time in 3 weeks I'm taking drinking inspiration from that tiny island in the West Indies. However this one hits a little bit different than the Barbados Cocktail. That one was just rum, falernum and lime, served up in a coupe. This cocktail

Good morning DFO! Welp, this is THAT weekend. This is the weekend that I'm venturing out into a globally infected world in an effort to actually "do shit." Later today Eldest right and the 2 oldest granddaughters and I are off to Hollywood for the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit. To make everyone's

Sharkbait - August 27, 2021August 27, 2021

Hello and happy Friday once again. I've been keeping a running list of drinks recipes I come across places online, as supplements to my cocktail books and when I'm having a hard time coming up with something original to experiment with. This week was definitely one of those weeks. I

Howdy folks! Pre-season football is in full swing and boy howdy can I feel opening day approaching like a goddamn forest fire. I'll give you a rough prediction of how I expect my team to finish during my upcoming team preview but just be aware I don't have the highest of expectations. Food-wise

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Tropical Thunder

Sharkbait - August 20, 2021August 19, 2021

Hello and happy Friday one and all. The tropics have been making their presence known in New England recently. On Thursday, the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred dumped a ton of rain and brought down trees around Boston, and now Henri (most likely a hurricane by the time this posts)
