Sunshine and Kalani here in the lounge for two cocktails and a LOT of listener mail. We have some serious catching up to do with our fans after taking so many weeks off. Conversation includes: Gotta Go Flamingo, Kate’s Lazy Desert, Hi Time wine cellar, pre bottled mai tai, home pickling and Sunshines very odd late night dreams.

What are we drinking on this episode? The Sand Trap. Sunshine is not a fan of blends drinks but does have three recipes in his little book. This one is a take on the piña colada but lets just say its better if you don’t like those SWEET cocktails.

One of our listeners again asked us to review Kate’s Lazy Desert airstream motel in the California desert. Sunshine and the husband have booked a stay and will share all the details when we get back. Till then check out the site yourself and think about booking.

OK, this thing is ridiculous and deservers conversation. Just listen to this episode as we try out this potty training toy/gimmick for the kiddies. Yeah, we have one and we are not embarrassed.

Mentioned on this episode, our favorite booze emporium and EXCELLENT rum selection!

Even the snootiest cocktail snob sometimes has to make do with a quick cocktail shortcut…or go sober. When going sober is not your preference you may try one of the now many bottled cocktails. On The Rocks has a line of drinks including a Mai Tai. Sunshine rated this one 6 of 10 and recommends adding a squeeze of fresh lime and a dark Jamaican rum float. In a pinch this will do. If you have the ingredients and time it is recommended that you mix your own Mai Tai and store it in a large bottle for traveling. It will stay fresh enough for a day or two even without refrigeration if the alcohol content is 20% or more. Don’t forget the ice.
