  • 367 Trapped On A Cruise Ship With Realtors And Vegetarians
    Sunshine has just returned from another cruise and can't help but discuss
    his thoughts on the pros and cons of the various lines.  Certainly not a
    pro cruiser but not a beginner anymore either, Sunshine recommends cruise
    lines based on how well they shake a cocktail and the service that goes
    with it.  Plus: See us all at the next Tiki Mâkeke at Don the Beachcomber,
    political banter (nothing too ugly), Christmas gift giving ideas and a
    brand spanking new cocktail for the winter blues.

  • 366 Locked Inside Our Tiki Bar Waiting To See What Happens
    Since right before the election Sunshine and Starshine have been locked

    shut the door and turned off the news.  On this episode we pop the door
    open to see what happened to our great America.  You'll have to listen to

  • 364 On Halloween, Grab Her By The Kitty Kat

    a cocktail recipe or two for your dark celebration and get some ideas for
    setting the mood with eerie sounds and smells.  Plus, the final update on

  • 362 Paddling Across A Murky Lagoon To IKEA Looking For Vegan Lube
    Sunshine and Pumpkin are the two original hosts of the Zen Tiki Lounge

    episode which includes an inebriated rant about the things we just don't
    care for.  But don't worry, we get in our tiki goodness with the Murky
    Lagoon cocoktail, vintage travel posters by pickyourplum.com , an update on
    MOD-Palm Springs and a big shout to our friends at Tiki Bar t-shirt Club.

    for you.

  • 361 Top Shelf Rum & Bottom Shelf Bartenders
    If you scan across the back of any bar in the world you can get a pretty
    quick picture of the kind of cocktail you are about to receive.  Do you see
    the standard national brands prominently displayed front and center?
     Likely.  Perhaps you notice some harder to find bourbon or rum.  That can
    be promising.  What about a dozen or more flavored vodkas?  Thats usually a
    bad sign if you want a well made drink.  Regardless of what you see, you
    should always for what  you want.  A good bartender will let you know if
    they can make it and if not, should suggest something in the neighborhood.
     But lets say you end up in one of the many bars popping up nowadays where
    a few guys with some money said "Dude! lets open a craft cocktail bar" but
    none of them had any talent or experience.  In places such as these you
    will likely find some top shelf rum and spirits but be challenged to find
    anyone behind the counter who can do anything with them.  You will have two
    options.  You can ask for your spirit neat or on the rocks and keep things
    simple.  Or, you can throw a very simple recipe at the barkeep and keep an
    eye on him while he fools around back there.  You may just teach him or her
    a thing or two.  On this episode of the podcast we explore this predicament
    along with listening to some very chill exotica.
