Holy hell it's August already? When the hell did this happen? I certainly didn't ask for this. What I did ask for was a good excuse to use dark rum this week. I re-supplied to make Dark & Stormys and thought about using here. Having already made the aforementioned Dark

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Experimentation
Happy Friday one and all! I've mentioned in this space before that I need to start experimenting with creating my own drinks, as opposed to making established recipes from my library of cocktail books. Well dear readers, this is a week where I finally did some experimenting and came up
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Summon the Heroes
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’s Cocktail of the Week: En Garde!
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
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Vieux From The Top
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
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,
