Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Analogue, Not Digital
Hello, and happy Friday one and all. Good news! After much searching (OK not that much searching) I've finally acquired some allspice dram. Now I can finally mix up the Analogue. The drink that I've had on the forefront of my mind the last couple weeks. This one comes from
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Alternate Plans
Don't you hate that feeling when you're one random ingredient away from cooking/mixing something that sounds fantastic? Well, that's my position at this current moment. I won't reveal the recipe I'm looking at since (hopefully) I'll be able to do it in the near future, but it is frustrating when
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Beggars Can’t Be Choosers

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Barbados Slim
Barbados? Again?? That's right. For the second time in 3 weeks I'm taking drinking inspiration from that tiny island in the West Indies. However this one hits a little bit different than the Barbados Cocktail. That one was just rum, falernum and lime, served up in a coupe. This cocktail
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Journalistic Integrity
Hello and happy Friday once again. I've been keeping a running list of drinks recipes I come across places online, as supplements to my cocktail books and when I'm having a hard time coming up with something original to experiment with. This week was definitely one of those weeks. I
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Tropical Thunder
Hello and happy Friday one and all. The tropics have been making their presence known in New England recently. On Thursday, the remnants of Tropical Storm Fred dumped a ton of rain and brought down trees around Boston, and now Henri (most likely a hurricane by the time this posts)
