Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: New Starts

Sharkbait - January 3, 2025January 3, 2025

Hey there. Welcome to 2025! Apologies for the lack of a tasty beverage last week, time just got away from me. Having a mid week Christmas with multiple family obligations will do that. The same thing nearly happened this week too. Time just got away from me. The same thing nearly

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Annual Flip Out

Sharkbait - December 20, 2024December 20, 2024

So I've detected a trend the last couple years doing this project. Around this time of year, I break out a basic flip and post about it here. I've done a bourbon one, and 2 years ago I did a rum version. So, why mess with success and do yet

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Cranberry Concoction

Sharkbait - December 13, 2024December 13, 2024

Happy weekend everyone! I'm still working through the abundance of cranberries I picked up for Thanksgiving dessert. Thankfully these little berries are fairly shelf stable and keep well when in the fridge for a long period of time. I don't want to let them go to waste so I wanted

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Garbage Time

Sharkbait - December 6, 2024December 6, 2024

Welcome to another Friday, but this Friday is squarely in garbage time. I always make this comparison this time of the year: The calendar year is essentially a football game. (American) Thanksgiving is essentially the two minute warning of a blowout game. We've got the ball and all we need

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: That’s My Raiders Request Line!

Sharkbait - November 29, 2024November 29, 2024

With apologies to Rikki for using two of his recurring post titles but I can't think of anything better to set up this week's drink. Let's set the scene: Wednesday, October 2nd. I'm going to check the mail, and go downstairs to the front to find a package with my name

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Hedging Bets

Sharkbait - November 22, 2024November 22, 2024

First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a Happy Buttfumbleversary to those who celebrate. I don't know what is the best part about that whose sequence. Is it the fumble itself? Is it that it is the second touchdown in a matter of seconds after the Patriots had a 1

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pretty In Pink

Sharkbait - November 15, 2024November 15, 2024

Hello and happy Friday yet again. The theme of this week is 'simplicity'. Mainly because it was a short week and somehow time got away from me. It's a good thing that I keep a running list of recipes I come across that are easy, either in one of my

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pass The Bleach

Sharkbait - November 8, 2024November 8, 2024

I have no words. Which is ironic considering this is the second attempt at writing this post. Attempt number one was started around 1 am Wednesday morning and cut off when Mrs. Sharkbait came downstairs at 2:30 to convince me to go to bed. What I had written was a

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Mistakes Were Made

Sharkbait - November 1, 2024November 1, 2024

Happy first day of November! This week I decided to get a little adventurous. Last weekend we had Sharkette's 5th birthday party with family and friends. Some family dropped off some tangerine and chili flavored olives for Mrs. Sharkbait and I. I immediately passed them on to her because olives

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: False Fall

Sharkbait - October 25, 2024October 25, 2024

Happiest of Fridays to you all! Despite the calendar's date and the official season, Fall has kind of fucked off the last few days and I'm kinda here for it. I like the Fall. It's the best beer drinking season by far, it doesn't suck to be outside yet, and,

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Annual Cider Experiment

Sharkbait - October 18, 2024October 18, 2024

Hooray for Friday! I had an idea to do some experimenting and make my own drink this week involving apple cider because why not? Checking my master spreadsheet where I track all of these posts, I see that I've been doing cider cocktail experiments around this time of year before.

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Wanderlust

Sharkbait - October 11, 2024October 11, 2024

Hello once again, and happy long weekend Friday! I trust you've all got something entertaining lined up for the bonus day off we all get. For me, I'll be heading down to New York for an overnight. I'm very much looking forward to that. Speaking of traveling, I came across
