The anticipation has been eating away at us for months and finally, its here. Its Shark Week. This may just be the only week of summer it’s acceptable to stare at your TV screen for hours on end feeding your curiosity of these beastly ocean creatures. So do indulge, and we won’t judge if the binge exceeds normal. Episode after episode, the sharks draw you in and you just cant look away– we get it. So if you’re going to be sitting on the couch for hours anyway, why not make your time spent even better with a Shark Week festive cocktail? A boozy shark week is the best kind of shark week.
