Monday 10/12 - A Worthy Adversary

Since stepping foot on St. Thomas (and even for a while before that), I had been told about the ultimate drink. Its served at Duffy's, and its known simply as the "shark tank".

Normal drinks are served in cups, right? A pint glass here, a rocks glass there... but these mere vessels are no match for the shark tank. So what is it served in? A fishbowl. In go a number of mixed spirits (the exact recipe is guarded as heavily as Marino's sauce recipe) and a blue punch to add the appearance of water. Finally - and this is where things get interesting - plastic sharks are placed tail down and 151 is poured into their mouths until they are full. Top it off with a couple of long straws and you're good to go. We did three in one night, but I'm sure we will take after Usain Bolt and continuously break our own record.



Possible side effects include but are not limited to: blacking out, bluemouth, mind blowing dance moves, John Cena impressions, breaking up barfights, stealing straw hats, befriending rasta taxi drivers, trusting those with a pot leaf on their shirt, and Eiffel Towers. Women who are pregnant, could become pregnant, or want to maintain a shred of dignity should consult their physician before drinking a shark tank. In rare cases, you will remember the rest of the night.
