Sharkbait - August 23, 2019August 23, 2019

Happy almost weekend everyone. When looking for inspiration this week, I didn't have to look very far. I had some leftover jalapeño and basil from a dinner I made, and didn't want those fresh ingredients to go to waste. So, I hit the internets to see what I could find

Sharkbait - August 16, 2019August 16, 2019

Hey everyone, happy Friday. The shoulder is doing well, thanks for asking. You didn't? Well then, that's just rude. Unfortunately, I'm in a sling, which makes shaking drinks a little difficult, so I was forced to go in a different direction with the cocktail making. This week, I'm making some

Good morning all! Nice of you to drop by. Been watching any pre-season football? Yeah, I know it's week 1 of the pre-season but some of the starters have been playing almost the whole 1st quarter! That means shit's getting close to REAL. Know what else is cool as shit? I just bought

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pass Me The Painkillers

Sharkbait - August 9, 2019August 9, 2019

Well, I've done it again. For the third time playing hockey, I've dislocated my shoulder. Which, oddly enough makes mixing (shaking) drinks extremely difficult. However, the bar is still open, and drinks must be consumed. With a sling on my shoulder, I think I need a painkiller. Recipe courtesy of

Good morning everyone! Nice to be back in the saddle after DJ Taj filled in so astutely last week. We're coming into the home stretch for this season of Sunday Gravy. After today we have 4 more episodes and then we return ourselves to the brutality, futility, frustration, angst and over-caloric consumption

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Gimlet Anyone?

Sharkbait - August 2, 2019August 1, 2019

Welcome back. After last week's Frankenstein cocktail, I decided to go back to normal, and mix a classic. Still staying with gin, I'm making Gimlets. It's about as easy as a drink can be, or at least I assumed as much. Three simple ingredients right? How much deviation can there

Did I micturate on your rug? I wake from a fretful slumber, the dream I'm having may be more menacing than originally thought. The sleep is clearing from my hungover brain. The fog was lifting. As it cleared I started to realize this may have actually happened. Did I say I

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Margatini?

Sharkbait - July 26, 2019July 25, 2019

Happy Friday everyone. This week's drink is a request from my friend who lurks here occasionally. He suggested the Presidente previously so I was eager to try his latest suggestion. The drink he wanted me to try is called the Margatini. Based on the name alone I'm curious as to

Good morning everyone! After looking at today's banner image you probably had a reaction of outright joy, morbid curiosity or intense fear. I wanted to try this new thing where I fuck around with a famous chef's signature dish. I'm thinking about making it a recurring feature here. Today we are paying tribute

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Corpse Reviver

Sharkbait - July 19, 2019July 19, 2019

Welcome back and happy Friday drinkers. After a week of traveling, I'm finally back mixing drinks at my home bar. I did bring back a couple new additions to my drinking arsenal: Port Askaig 8, a Single Malt from Islay; and Brighton Gin, a small batch gin from Brighton. I'll

सभी को सुप्रभात "sabhee ko suprabhaat!" Welcome. The above is Hindi for "Good morning all". I speak abso-fucking-lutely zero Hindi but it felt appropriate. That is a rather tantalizing plate of food up there is it not? Maybe familiar to some probably unfamiliar to more than a few of you. You are looking at my
