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
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
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: Journalistic Integrity
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
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
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
