Happy short week Friday! This week was a little shorter for me since I took Tuesday off to extend my weekend and it was a very smart decision. 3 day work weeks are fantastic. Aside from that, I now have a new cocktail book in my arsenal! It is Paris Cocktails

Sharkbait - September 2, 2022September 1, 2022

Happy long (if you reside below the Canadian border anyway) weekend everyone! I'm sure I've mentioned this before around these parts, but I am a huge history nerd. When I came across a tweet mentioning a cocktail that Admiral Chester Nimitz created when he was Commander In Chief, Pacific Fleet

Sharkbait - August 26, 2022August 26, 2022

Hello and welcome back to the best day of the week. What's this? Another Mai Tai? Yes, sort of. In my quest to use my supply of orgeat syrup before it expires, I specifically went looking to feature it again this week. I came across a recipe for something called the

We made it to another Friday friends. Time to rejoice and relax. This week was a slog and a half so I've been looking forward to writing and posting this as a sort of waypoint/mile marker on the path to the weekend, and it's finally here. National Rum Day happened to

Happy Friday one and all! I don't know about your respective parts of the world, but the Northeast has been baking for the better part of two weeks. That finally came to an end this week, and it was a bit odd. a 30 degree temperature drop from one day to

Sharkbait - August 5, 2022August 5, 2022

Good morning and Happy Friday. I feel like the dog in the "This is fine" meme while the entire room is on fire. We're in the middle of the second stretch of 4 days of temperatures above 95 degrees in the last 2 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I like summer.

Don't you just love a challenge? I do (occasionally), especially when it comes to making cocktails. That's where I found myself this week, after bringing back a lovely souvenir from the DFOCon in Baltimore. At Harry's bar (which was also a liquor store - how convenient!) I noticed a vodka

Happy Friday once again! It's been fuck hot up in the Northeast lately, which means my cocktail/drinking has been limited to my usual Summer go to-s: gin & tonics, vodka seltzers, and radlers/shandy style beers. Though this week's research led me to another tropical style cocktail called the Bird of

Happy middle of summer Friday. I'm still getting slowly unpacked and recovered from the last week at the beach, so I wasn't in the mood for something overly complicated to make and write about this week. I happened to remember I had some Aperol in the bar still, and saving the
