Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Ho Ho The Mistletoe
Happy Friday! Last week I promised some more seasonally relevant cocktails and I've bringing it today. This week I made a great gin cocktail called Under The Mistletoe. What intrigues me is the addition of the fresh cranberries as a muddling ingredient and as a garnish. Good thing I'll be

Happy first Friday in December. I was having a conversation with Mrs. Sharkbait the other day, and we were trying to figure out a good analogy for this time of year. I mean, we're already in the 4th quarter, but have we hit garbage time status yet? We came to

Happy Friday! This is the first of two back to back long weekends I have, and I fully intend on enjoying every minute of them. As I've mentioned before here, I enjoy looking for seasonal drinks, and once again this week was no exception. Though I'm not sure how "seasonal"
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: High Spirits
Hello and happy Friday once again. This week, I'm finally leaning into the season and I'm making something spooky! I'm making the Green Ghost. Then again, how spooky can a drink can be when one of the ingredients is made by Carthusian Monks? I suppose isn't very spooky now isn't
