Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Wake Up!

Sharkbait - September 27, 2019September 27, 2019

Happy Friday! I hope you're all enjoying the Rugby World Cup currently going on. As much fun as the games are, the unfortunate reality is that due to the host country being Japan, the games over here are at very rough hours. Fortunately, I was able to catch the USA

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Oh Sherry!

Sharkbait - September 20, 2019September 19, 2019

Happy Friday. First off, I apologize for getting a Steve Perry song stuck in all of our heads. But it had to be done, because I'm focusing on sherry this week. Sherry is one of those ubiquitous bottles that everyone seems to have in their liquor cabinet that almost never

Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: Tonic For Your Health

Sharkbait - September 13, 2019September 13, 2019

Happy Friday people. This week were drinking to our health, as this week's cocktail had roots in keeping you healthy. According to The Gentleman's Companion by Charles H. Baker (of which, is quickly becoming my favorite cocktail book) the Gin & Tonic "originated to combat fever - both real and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Mule Time

Sharkbait - September 6, 2019September 6, 2019

Happy week 1 everybody! Football is finally back...barely. Hopefully this week's cocktail will help wash out the suck that was Thursday Night Football. Luckily, this week's cocktail is extremely easy to make. No shaking necessary (of which, is a huge plus for me right now). Let's mix up a Moscow

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Scofflaw

Sharkbait - August 30, 2019August 30, 2019

Happy Friday everyone. Hopefully your Friday is going better than mine. By the time this posts, I'll be recuperating from shoulder surgery, related to the dislocation I've mentioned over the past few weeks. However, that will in no way, shape or form keep me from mixing tasty beverages. I'm sneaking

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Spicy Drinks II: Electric Boogaloo

Sharkbait - August 23, 2019August 23, 2019

Happy almost weekend everyone. When looking for inspiration this week, I didn't have to look very far. I had some leftover jalapeño and basil from a dinner I made, and didn't want those fresh ingredients to go to waste. So, I hit the internets to see what I could find

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Beerfest!

Sharkbait - August 16, 2019August 16, 2019

Hey everyone, happy Friday. The shoulder is doing well, thanks for asking. You didn't? Well then, that's just rude. Unfortunately, I'm in a sling, which makes shaking drinks a little difficult, so I was forced to go in a different direction with the cocktail making. This week, I'm making some

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pass Me The Painkillers

Sharkbait - August 9, 2019August 9, 2019

Well, I've done it again. For the third time playing hockey, I've dislocated my shoulder. Which, oddly enough makes mixing (shaking) drinks extremely difficult. However, the bar is still open, and drinks must be consumed. With a sling on my shoulder, I think I need a painkiller. Recipe courtesy of

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Gimlet Anyone?

Sharkbait - August 2, 2019August 1, 2019

Welcome back. After last week's Frankenstein cocktail, I decided to go back to normal, and mix a classic. Still staying with gin, I'm making Gimlets. It's about as easy as a drink can be, or at least I assumed as much. Three simple ingredients right? How much deviation can there

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Margatini?

Sharkbait - July 26, 2019July 25, 2019

Happy Friday everyone. This week's drink is a request from my friend who lurks here occasionally. He suggested the Presidente previously so I was eager to try his latest suggestion. The drink he wanted me to try is called the Margatini. Based on the name alone I'm curious as to

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: The Corpse Reviver

Sharkbait - July 19, 2019July 19, 2019

Welcome back and happy Friday drinkers. After a week of traveling, I'm finally back mixing drinks at my home bar. I did bring back a couple new additions to my drinking arsenal: Port Askaig 8, a Single Malt from Islay; and Brighton Gin, a small batch gin from Brighton. I'll

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week, On the Road: The DIY In-Flight Cocktail

Sharkbait - July 12, 2019July 12, 2019

I do not like to fly. However, I will not let that stop me from going places (hence last week's update from Brighton in the UK). At the time of this writing, I'm 36,000 feet above the North Atlantic, en route back home after a week in England. What does
