Welcome back drinkers. Originally I had something else to show off to you fine folks this week, however, at the last minute I made a substitution. I've been fighting a nasty head cold over the last few days, and I decided the best cure for said cold was a tried

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Use Your Infusion II
Welcome back everyone. Just like Guns N' Roses released Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 in the same year, I'm going for back to back infusion drinks. Thanks to a generous donation of ghost peppers from The Wee Baby Seamus, I was able to concoct my very own Ghost Pepper
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Use Your Infusion
Happy Friday everyone. We all made it through another week....I think. I'm currently in the middle of parental leave from work, so knowing what day it is has been a bit of a struggle. One of the perks of having some time off is the ability to play with some
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Popping Champagne
Hello to the new Deadspin refugees! To everyone else, welcome back to Cocktail of the Week! Now back in its usual slot after a one week absence, due to baby sharkette deciding to arrive a few days earlier than expected. Because everyone is happy and healthy, let's celebrate with some

Well, it's Friday. We made it through another week. Let's have a drink to celebrate. As suggested a couple weeks ago, I decided to focus this week's drinking project on a single drink, that has multiple versions. I figured since I started this project with an old fashioned, I should
Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Wake Up!
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!
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
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
