Late start, but on shore almost early enough for page one. I'll have a Manhattan, please.

That was indeed <meta answer>! Got lucky and found it in the first rabbit hole I checked. I suspect many will do a lot more digging.
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Got it. First bit in the dentist chair. Second bit resisting taking the garbage out.

I'll take a raspberry sorbet whiskey slushy please.

Ashore. Yes indeedy, Matt. Good way to describe the wordplay.
Thanks for all the wordplay you continue to throw our way. It makes our day!

Set it down after looking at it for bit and the mechanism came to me while watching the nightly news 🤷🏻‍♂️

On shore. At first glance, the only path I could find turned quickly into a dead end. Then, as I was away from the puzzle cooking dinner in the kitchen, I realized what the mechanism probably was. Finished it after dinner.

Keep your Guinness. I'll have that Dual IPA that I saw at the Grammys.

On shore. Had to pull myself out of a deep hole, but made it in the end.
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta! :D
