One of my favorite things to do in the before times was sit at a bar. I don't mean just go to a bar, I mean sit at the physical bar. I love the people-watching, as well as seeing the bartenders work their mixology magic. The best is on a slower

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: They Maid Me Do It
Happy Friday once again. This marks the first full week back at work after taking half a month off to watch Baby Shark while Mrs. Sharkbait started her new job. It was an educational experience for sure. Baby Shark certainly learned a lot of new words while dad had hockey
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Pushing It To The Limit
Happy August Friday everyone. After three weeks of more contemporary drinks (including a hybrid I made up), I wanted to go back to a more classic drink. I picked one from the prohibition era that has been on my radar for a little while: The Twelve Mile Limit. A little bit
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Lemonade? No. Limoncello
I'm back again with another drink featuring mint. I still have multiple fresh sprigs so I want to make sure I put them to good use. I originally was thinking of a gin/mint/blueberry drink. Most of the recipes I saw were just variations on a gin & tonic. Though delicious
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Back To Reality
Back to reality is right. I'm back home after spending close to two and a half months down on the Cape. It felt good to be down there, like it was normal almost, but not quite there. It was a welcome break for sure. In a bit of forward thinking, I
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: He’s Got Bees!
Oh yes. Just like Gob himself, I've got bees again this week. I came across a list of summer drinks to enjoy by the fire. The Bee's Elbow caught my eye, and decided to mix it up for you all this week. Before I get into the drink, can I
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Algonquin
Hello and happy summer Friday everyone. For this week, I wanted to make something a tad bit simpler than the last two weeks, which featured dark rum based tropical drinks. Not to mention the supply of Goslings is running precariously low. So I went to work doing some "research" in
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Rupert Holmes Special
Rupert Holmes? Isn't he the guy who sang the pina colada song? Yes, yes he is. Also, you're welcome for getting that song stuck in all of your heads. What does a song from 1979 have to do with this week? No, I'm not making a pina colada (yet). This week,
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: A 1-2 Punch Combination
Happy long weekend everyone. With today being an observed holiday, I hope that the majority of you are ready to start day drinking. As they say: "You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning!" Given that we're in the middle of summer, and I have plenty of
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Clovers
One of the fun perks of writing this post is the amount of suggestions I get from friends who read. This week's drink is one that was suggested during a socially distant movie night. It's also another cocktail that calls for an egg white. Raw egg again? Damn right. If it's
