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
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Daiquiri Days Are Here Again
Ok so maybe not completely here again, but they are getting close. Though an argument can be made that any day can be a daiquiri day and I'm OK with that logic. Despite being a warm weather/summer mainstay, I say let them be made any time! Especially in the late winter/early spring
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Bushwick, Not Bushwood
Happy Friday! I'm especially happy for it to finally be the end of the week. Sharkbait 2.0 hasn't been sleeping well lately, which leads to a lot of interrupted sleep. Coupled with remote training for work starting at 7am every day this week has made for one long slog of
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Merry Leap Day
So I'm not sure where this surge of English themes I have going on recently, but here we are again with an English inspired cocktail this week. Well not inspired per se, but born from one of the world's best cocktail bars: The American Bar at the Savoy hotel in
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Laid Back
As I've mentioned numerous times, I am a history nerd. Recently I came across a couple history centric (British mostly) youtube channels posting full length documentaries that have sucked me in over the past few days. After consuming yet another documentary about WWII and The Blitz, I decided to keep
