Happy first full work week of the year. To kick off 2025, I had a challenge. During the holidays, I went to my sister's house and there she had a bottle of Ardbeg Wee Beastie that was to live there for when my father or myself came to visit and

Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: New Starts
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
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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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
