Sharkbait - July 30, 2021July 30, 2021

Sharkbait - July 23, 2021July 23, 2021

Hello and happy Olympics Friday. The opening ceremony is tonight and I will absolutely be watching. As I mentioned the other night, I am an Olympics junkie. I love watching them and will watch as many of the events as I can. Specifically, I'm looking forward to rugby 7s, which

Sharkbait - July 16, 2021July 15, 2021

Hello and happy weekend everyone! In my cocktail project, I've featured a handful of drinks I've come up with on my own, and it is still very much a goal of mine to explore mixing my own drinks, as well as continue to pick and choose recipes from my library

Happy belated Canada day, and Fourth of July weekend everyone. Hopefully everyone was able to stay relatively cool, considering both sides of North America were borderline cooked. Taking inspiration from that, I went looking for something that would be hydrating, as well as boozy. Luckily, I had some mint that needed

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: En Garde!

Sharkbait - June 25, 2021June 24, 2021

Hello and happy Friday yet again. This week I finally got around to making a drink I've always seemed to be one or two ingredients short every time I go to make it. It's called the Lucien Gaudin Cocktail. Who was Lucien Gaudin? According to the Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails

Happy Friday once again. Hopefully we're all enjoying the lesser footy matches this morning! If you're looking for a tasty beverage to enjoy during Croatia vs. Czech Republic or (more importantly/drunkenly) England vs. Scotland, may I present this week's cocktail: The Vieux Mot from the Please Don't Tell cocktail book

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Masters of None

Sharkbait - June 11, 2021June 11, 2021

Happy Friday everyone. This week I had two potential drinks I wanted to make, but yet somehow they both fell through due to not enough planning ahead. AKA I was missing key ingredients. Lucky me, I had a fallback: The Azalea. Now I originally planned to make this for masters weekend,

Sharkbait - June 4, 2021June 3, 2021

Hello and happy Summer Friday to you all. I feel like I've been in a rut recently and overlooking some of the great resources I have in my cocktail library. In an effort to rectify that, I went looking in a rarely used, but fantastic resource in the Bartender Manual

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Cardamom Cocktail?

Sharkbait - May 28, 2021May 28, 2021

Happy long weekend to everyone south of the Canadian border. Sorry Canada, your long weekend was last week. This week I wanted to move off of the island/rum theme I've had going the last couple of weeks. I picked up a bottle of Lillet Blanc to make more Vespers and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: God Save The Queen

Sharkbait - May 21, 2021May 21, 2021

Finally, FINALLY it is seasonable up in the northeast. What that means is warm days and warm weather drinking! To me, that is solidly rum territory, and that's what I wanted to work with this week. I'm turning to the Waldorf Astoria bar book for a book named for a
