Happy short week Friday! Just curious, did anything of significance happen yesterday that I might have missed? Nah, definitely not. This week I found an interesting twist on a daiquiri that I wanted to try. It adds a few dashes of absinthe to the sugar/lime juice rum mix. I've been

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Heatwave!
Hello long weekend! It's been a long, and unseasonably hot week and I need a nice drink for the upcoming weekend. I went into this week's drink looking for something light and refreshing since it's touched 90 degrees that last few days. I was in a little bit of a
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: I’m All Right
...Don't nobody worry 'bout me. Thanks to Chris Kreider's third period hat trick to eliminate the Carolina Hurricanes Vichy Whalers, I am very much alright this evening. NHL playoffs are glorious and heart wrenching all at the same time. This week's drink was a last minute switch out, as the
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Breadman Cometh
Playoff overtime is awesome. Heart attack inducing if your team is involved, but extremely entertaining none the less. The intro here is being written after the second overtime game in a row with the Rangers being victorious in both games. Back to back overtime winners and a 3-0 series lead means
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Cinco de Derby
Happy Derby and Cinco de Mayo Friday! Hopefully you've all got something lined up for this excellent weekend. Me? I'll be out of state at a friend's wedding that they are turning into a giant Kentucky Derby party. Unfortunately, the Cinco de Mayo portion of the weekend is travel for
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Perils of the EBUG
I'm going to get straight to the point and temper expectations right off the bat. This is not going to be a good and or in depth post. It's mostly a reflection on my inability to plan ahead for something I do on a weekly basis, and it's finally come
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Friends in the Right Places
Welcome back to the best day of the week. This week's drink is the result of an innocent, half joking ask of my bartender friend of what I should make. I expected him to reply with some over the top nonsense that only he can concoct with special ingredients at
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Experimentation
Thankfully we've reached the end of the work week, and not too soon. This week I've been doing some experimenting. A while back at a Superb Owl party I hosted, some friends brought over a bottle of Martini and Rossi Fiero. That is a sweet orange (and slightly bitter) vermouth.
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Ménage à Trois? Non! C’est Quatre!
Happy Friday one and all. For this week, I wanted to break a streak I've been on here. It might not be the case, but it certainly feels like I've been neglecting the plethora of awesome cocktail books I have on hand and should be sampling from, rather than relying
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Spring Into Action
Happy Friday everyone! We're all pretending to work and just watching the tournament right? Right? I'll be doing at least one of those things. I never got into the NCAA tournament. Maybe because I went to a DII school and never went to a game? Either way I just root for
