CHARLOTTE, NC — Cue the foreboding music of doom because the annual rite of summer that gets hearts pounding and skin crawling is bearing down with a quickness. Discovery’s Shark Week kicks off Sunday, July 28.

Charlotte metro Bonefish Grill restaurants are getting in on the fun this year by launching a new “Jaws on the Rocks” cocktail made of Absolut Citron vodka and St Germain Elderflower liqueur shaken with cranberry juice, fresh lime and simple syrup — all served up in a shark tiki mug.

From July 28 through Aug. 1, Bonefish Grills will also serve a special menu of bar bites that includes crispy cod sliders, wagyu beef sliders, crispy broccoli, shrimp toast and crispy calamari.

Here in North Carolina, Shark Week hits a little close to home this year. In 2018, there were three shark attacks reported along the North Carolina coast, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History.
