Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Analogue, Not Digital

DFOing Good

Sharkbait - October 22, 2021October 22, 2021

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: The Search Continues

Sharkbait - October 15, 2021October 15, 2021

At the risk of sounding like Captain Ahab, I'm beginning to think allspice dram is my white whale. After searching a few different places where I am, I cannot seem to find this mysterious liqueur. So my plan of making the cocktail mentioned in the beginning's of last week's post

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Alternate Plans

Sharkbait - October 8, 2021October 8, 2021

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 - October 1, 2021October 1, 2021

Happy...October Friday? Where the hell did this year go? How is it already October? I was not consulted on this, and I do not approve. I am very much a summer person, despite my appreciation of fall (and winter) sports and enjoyment of Fall and Winter holidays. Apparently being in

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Ein Prosit!

Sharkbait - September 24, 2021September 25, 2021

Guten Tag meine Freunde! If the title and the first line of this week's post hasn't clued you in, there is a German theme this week. Mainly because Oktoberfest was supposed to have started this week in Munich. Oktoberfest is the worlds largest beer festival, lasting from mid September until

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Warhorse Edition

Sharkbait - September 17, 2021September 17, 2021

We made it to Friday once again. Congratulations to all of us. This week was a slog for yours truly. Though that will happen on the first week back from vacation. So I needed something to celebrate the end of the week, and I felt a whiskey based drink would

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Don’t Give Up

Sharkbait - September 10, 2021September 10, 2021

Happy Short week Friday! I’ve been looking forward to this week’s drink for a little while now. The reason being I was going to make it while on vacation on the Cape. Why the Cape? Well, my supply of Fernet Branca has been living there for a little while and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Barbados Slim

Sharkbait - September 3, 2021September 3, 2021

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

Sharkbait - August 27, 2021August 27, 2021

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

Sharkbait - August 20, 2021August 19, 2021

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)

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Skip To The End

Sharkbait - August 13, 2021August 13, 2021

I made a realization the other day. I have become one of the things I hate the most on the internet. I'm a writer on the internet that provides write-ups without the ability to skip to the recipe. That is a major peeve of mine. Though the bigger annoyances with recipe

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Jungle Boogie

Sharkbait - August 6, 2021August 4, 2021

Holy hell it's August already? When the hell did this happen? I certainly didn't ask for this. What I did ask for was a good excuse to use dark rum this week. I re-supplied to make Dark & Stormys and thought about using here. Having already made the aforementioned Dark
