Christmas weekend is finally upon us. Hopefully you've got all your shopping done, both for gifts and for food. Food especially since in my opinion, Christmas dinner is the dinner of the year, and it absolutely sucks to be missing a key ingredient for that and have to go on

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Mister Heatmeiser
Happy mid December Friday everyone. Why the Heatmeiser title? This week we're making a drink that involves a little bit of spice! Granted, when I say a little bit, I do mean a little. The Little Bit Country from the Please Don't Tell cocktail book is made with a little
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Tangible Gains
Hello and welcome to Friday! This week's drink features the most traditional of all Christmas liquors: tequila! I know, I know, but for real, tequila in my bar is criminally underused, outside of the standard margarita and I do want to start changing that. So, being the change I want to
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Maximize the Leftovers
I apologize in advance of this week's column. I may be providing a drink that you probably won't be able to make until Christmas, assuming you don't keep any sort of cranberry sauce on hand at all times. To be fair I don't either and I made this the day after Thanksgiving
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Throwing Haymakers
It's a special day before Thanksgiving edition of the Cocktail of the Week! As a service, I like to provide you fine readers with some ideas to serve at your own Thanksgiving celebrations. Or, for our Canadian friends, Thirsty Thursday celebrations. This week/year I'm providing a drink that should play
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Joy to the World
Happy week before (American) Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is essentially the two minute warning of the year. Everything from here on out is garbage time of the year, where we're all waiting for the time off at the end of the year. This week I'm putting into use a new ingredient I picked
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Going Barefoot
Hello one and all. Once again we made it to yet another Friday. I should have taken today off since I was off all yesterday for Veterans/Armistice day. Going back into work for one day before the weekend makes little sense to me, but that is my mistake. Anyway. This week I'm
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Falling Into The Season
Hello and happy Friday once again. This week I took inspiration from Halloween at my sister in law's to create my own fall drink. When we went over for Halloween, I was asked to make us drinks before we escorted our kids around the neighborhood. Gladly taking them up on
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Raising The Dead
Happy All Hallows Eve weekend. My name is Lloyd and I'll be your bartender today. Go ahead and pull up a seat. Don't worry about money, your credit is fine. Now, I've been charged by the power that be with making all of you a tasty Halloween themed beverage. So may
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Analogue, Not Digital
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
