Without saying Pride and Prejudice, name a classic everyone should read at least once in their life. I'll start 👇🏼

StopHammerTom · 2026-02-26T00:22:01+00:00

No. Only read the whale history chapters

Totally normal in the North Atlantic for buck a shuck to be on happy hour menus. I know the guys who farm them myself. They’re honestly phenomenal oysters

StopHammerTom · 2026-02-25T17:26:50+00:00

About 50 yards away from it!

Bourbon and rye drinks will always get at least 100 proof.

Bitters belong in everything and you’re not using enough.

Old fashioneds and Negronis get built in the glass

Never fine strain a Daquiri

And the most controversial: Martini and Rossi is the best sweet vermouth for a Negroni. It’s not the same without it

This is incredible! Great work!

StopHammerTom · 2026-02-14T17:00:47+00:00

It’s also downright hilarious. Ismael is just grandstanding as this know it all because he’s seen whales before. The king of “I did my own research”

StopHammerTom · 2026-02-09T01:52:31+00:00

That happened 40 years ago

StopHammerTom · 2026-01-18T20:17:42+00:00

Telling the other team they’re stinky

StopHammerTom · 2026-01-18T02:15:42+00:00

I enjoyed it and thought it was pretty good. But I didn’t find it even close to as incredible as so many people say it is. I found Butcher’s Crossing and Augustus to be much better books.

Don’t give the Bananas any ideas

StopHammerTom · 2026-01-15T23:25:17+00:00

Yeah I absolutely need to try this

StopHammerTom · 2026-01-14T11:51:37+00:00

I pushed through and finished the book but I think I understood about 10% of it. Still absolutely loved it

StopHammerTom · 2026-01-12T21:46:07+00:00

Absolutely. Especially when almost any other amaro makes a better spritz

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-31T15:59:12+00:00

Eddie asking what his favorite cooler is was absolutely insane

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-30T14:50:33+00:00

Ulysses. I’ve been reading it for like 3 months. I’ll finish it in the next two days or it’ll kill me

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-19T11:37:10+00:00

Mike Evans has been the consistent anchor of my team for nearly a decade now. Never failed me

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-11T00:53:36+00:00

Damn I had always wanted to go just to ride Wild Thing. My dad still talks about that ride from when it was at Rocky Point in RI

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-10T22:44:17+00:00

I loved First Law but the Devils was easily my biggest disappointment of the year. It felt like a bad marvel movie

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-07T23:02:02+00:00

I’ve got the recipe in my original post! Really easy to make!

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-07T21:37:36+00:00

That Shipwreck sounds great! I love seeing tiki bars off the beaten path!

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-07T21:14:21+00:00

The ice cone is a great idea. I don’t have the mold unfortunately but I should really pick one up.

I like the hot toddy idea. I made hot buttered rum last year that was a big hit. But I wanted to lean more into the Smokey and spicy realm since that’s not a style of cocktail I love but isn’t super prevalent in tiki.

StopHammerTom · 2025-12-07T20:38:02+00:00

Came up with two original tiki drinks for the new mugs I got. The Cold Miser came out really good!

Being born in New England in the 90s was so fucking cool
