Happy (snowy Northeast) Friday everyone. Following up on my absinthe experiment last week, I wanted to find a better use for my supply. Enter the classic Sazerac. Once I realized I had everything except the Peychaud's bitters, I decided to procure them for this week and finally make one of

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Resolute Determination
Well, we've made it. Week 52. Day 365. In a manner of hours, 2021 will be in the rear view mirror and I'm not exactly sad to see it go. Sure, it was better than the absolute dumpster fire 2020 was, but that bar was so low, worms were tripping
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Use Your Noggin
Christmas weekend is finally upon us. Hopefully you've got all your shopping done, both for gifts and for food. Food especially since in my opinion, Christmas dinner is the dinner of the year, and it absolutely sucks to be missing a key ingredient for that and have to go on
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Mister Heatmeiser
Happy mid December Friday everyone. Why the Heatmeiser title? This week we're making a drink that involves a little bit of spice! Granted, when I say a little bit, I do mean a little. The Little Bit Country from the Please Don't Tell cocktail book is made with a little
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Tangible Gains
Hello and welcome to Friday! This week's drink features the most traditional of all Christmas liquors: tequila! I know, I know, but for real, tequila in my bar is criminally underused, outside of the standard margarita and I do want to start changing that. So, being the change I want to
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Maximize the Leftovers
I apologize in advance of this week's column. I may be providing a drink that you probably won't be able to make until Christmas, assuming you don't keep any sort of cranberry sauce on hand at all times. To be fair I don't either and I made this the day after Thanksgiving
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Throwing Haymakers
It's a special day before Thanksgiving edition of the Cocktail of the Week! As a service, I like to provide you fine readers with some ideas to serve at your own Thanksgiving celebrations. Or, for our Canadian friends, Thirsty Thursday celebrations. This week/year I'm providing a drink that should play
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Joy to the World
Happy week before (American) Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is essentially the two minute warning of the year. Everything from here on out is garbage time of the year, where we're all waiting for the time off at the end of the year. This week I'm putting into use a new ingredient I picked
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Going Barefoot
Hello one and all. Once again we made it to yet another Friday. I should have taken today off since I was off all yesterday for Veterans/Armistice day. Going back into work for one day before the weekend makes little sense to me, but that is my mistake. Anyway. This week I'm
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Falling Into The Season
Hello and happy Friday once again. This week I took inspiration from Halloween at my sister in law's to create my own fall drink. When we went over for Halloween, I was asked to make us drinks before we escorted our kids around the neighborhood. Gladly taking them up on
