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’s Cocktail of the Week: The Egg and I

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 - 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

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Stay for a Nightcap

Sharkbait - May 14, 2021May 13, 2021

I wanted to stick with the rum theme established last week, since I still have an urge to jet off to "St. Somewhere" and just lounge on a beach in paradise all day. I think I'm still going through some pandemic fatigue, and attempting to relive that by flying to

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Weather is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful

Sharkbait - May 7, 2021May 6, 2021

Hello and happy Friday. This week I was mid yacht rock playlist and a song came on that I wouldn't count as yacht rock, but I still enjoy anyway: The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful by Jimmy Buffett. I've always liked this song for numerous reasons, but this week

Sharkbait - April 30, 2021April 30, 2021

Happy Kentucky Derby weekend everyone. Since it is derby weekend, I found it fitting to make a drink simply called The Derby from Vintage Spirit & Forgotten Cocktails. As with most derby related drinks, this one has a bourbon base which I am all about. The interesting ingredient here is

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: I Demand A Shrubbery

Sharkbait - April 23, 2021April 23, 2021

Hello and happy Friday yet again. For the second straight week I'm going off the board and making something up as I go along. In a recent shopping trip, I picked up a rhubarb and honey shrub for Mrs. Sharkbait and figured I would do some experimenting with it. I determined

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Oh We Back

Hello and happy Friday once again. We're back to normal operations thankfully. Big thank you to Internet Dad for all the hard work moving us to a better and more stable hosting platform! This week I was inspired to try my hand at creating my own spring-like beverage with a purchase

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Hello, IT

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris - April 9, 2021

Happy Friday! As I write this, the website is still broken. The issue lies with the hosting provider, and hopefully they can get their heads out of their asses and un-fuck the site. On to happier things, this week’s drink. I wanted to do something out of the Please Don’t tell

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Can We Fix It?

Sharkbait - April 2, 2021April 2, 2021

Yes we can! Or, at least it is in the process of being fixed. The powers that be ARE working on this as we speak. Turns out, years of dick jokes in the backlog really inflate the size of a website. Who knew? Anyway, hopefully you are reading this, and I
