Sunshine and Starshine are happy to cozy up in the Zen Tiki Lounge and enjoy our newest cocktail creation. Sunshine has crafted Tansuma, a bright citrus drink that is perfect to sip slowly in order to really enjoy the many flavors. Tansuma is a good example of know your audience when it comes to the drinks you serve.  Pumpkin and Kalani do not appreciate stiffer libations like Starshine does. The Stroh used in this recipe gives a very distinct flavor that is reminiscent of rum raisin ice cream. Mix yours and listen to the show.

Above are the essential liquors needed to make Tansuma. Substitutions are not recommended. If you don't already have Stroh, Dry Curaçao, Campari and sweet Vermouth we don't know what you are waiting for.
