Sharkbait - May 6, 2022May 6, 2022

Happy Derby eve! I found it somewhat hard to believe in my couple years writing about drinks, I've yet to make a mint julep. This needs to be rectified immediately. Especially since I'm going to be serving them to a small gathering we're hosting for the Derby, so I should

Sharkbait - April 29, 2022April 29, 2022

Happy Friday and day 2 of the NFL draft. I missed the first round last night but it seems like I missed a decent amount: The Jets and Giants did a good?! AJ Brown to the Eagles! Hollywood Brown to the Cardinals in what I assume was some sort of mix-up where they

Sharkbait’s Cocktail Of The Week: Room For Improvement

Sharkbait - April 22, 2022April 22, 2022

Happy Friday everyone. For this week we're going a little old school. The Improved cocktail has been around since the 1870s when bartender Jerry Thomas created it, and then published it in his book "How To Mix Drinks: or the Bon-Vivant's Companion". What makes this improved is that it builds on

Happy Friday before a long weekend (for me at least).Monday is Patriots day up here in Massachusetts, and I took it off since Mrs. Sharkbait already had it off. Patriots Day is also Marathon Monday, and we are going to meet some friends that came up from New York to

Happy Friday and day 2 of the Masters. I usually don't watch too much golf, unless it's one of these major tournaments, and even then it's more of an excuse to fuck off from work for most of the day. I enjoy playing a game of whack fuck every now

Sharkbait’s Cocktail Of The Week: The Devil Made Me Do It

Sharkbait - April 1, 2022April 1, 2022

Hello and happy Friday once again. This week's drink is one I had originally wanted to make last week, until a friend told me about the Elder Fashioneds he was enjoying recently so I shifted making this one to this week. Coming to me via the Cointreau website, we have the Devil's

Good day, and welcome to Friday. Things are starting to look brighter (both physically and metaphorically) now that spring is finally here. The sun is out longer and kids will hopefully be eligible for a covid vaccine soon. Let's keep the good vibes going today shall we? Being that it is

Happy Friday and day 2 of the NCAA tournament. I'm willing to bet there wont be a lot of work going on today. Hopefully, your brackets aren't complete trash yet. I just checked mine in the DFO pool, and I'm in the middle of the pack. Much better than I

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Back to Normal-ish?

Sharkbait - March 11, 2022March 11, 2022

Happy Friday, we made it through another week again! This week I'm deviating somewhat from the usual recipe making that I do, and instead doing a sort of Cocktail of the Week: On The Road post. Unlike the last two times I did on the road reports, I will not

Sharkbait’s Cocktail Of The Week: Everything Old Is New Again

DFOing Good

Sharkbait - March 4, 2022March 4, 2022

What's that old saying? Everything old is new again? Given the events of the world the last two weeks, I'd say that is true. Speaking of old, this week I'm making a pre-prohibition classic that I'm shocked I haven't made in the three plus years I've been writing this: The Sidecar. Given

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: With A Little Help From My Friends

Sharkbait - February 25, 2022February 25, 2022

Hello once again friends. This week has been full of more shit news. Without rehashing or going into more detail, I think we all need a little break from life, and doom scrolling the news. Lord knows I am extremely guilty of that behavior, and I need a little bit
