A dimly lit tiki bar that lives in your head. Each and every podcast we bring you a new exotic cocktail followed by plenty of tiki talk, exotica tunes and whatever else your loyal hosts Sunshine, Pumpkin and Starshine care to dispense. Politics, religion and current events are all free game. This podcast is not for the kiddies, so remember to get a sitter before tuning in. Mahalo.
It had only been a few days since recording our previous podcast. In order to get you another episode before the holidays jump on us we popped into the lounge for a quickie. Starshine, Sunshine and Kalani enjoy an easy to make drink that rings in the fall/winter season with the smoothness of cinnamon, vanilla and citrus. Mix Holiday Sunset and serve all season long.
Read MoreJust two rum lovers sitting behind a microphone chatting about nothing special. Like many visits to your favorite bar you probably don't plan your conversation ahead of time. That is exactly what we did this episode of ZTL podcast.
Read MoreSunshine is behind the bar shaking up a special cocktail with fresh citrus and a blend of spirits and spices. Without the ladies in the lounge this week our conversation quickly moves from cocktails to music and from music to art. Specifically, the art of Dirk Yates. Dirk currently has a campaign on kickstarter that we have backed and think you will want to get in on as well. Cheers and Mahalo!
Read MoreThe name of the game is GET PUMPKIN DRUNK! We only do this to make our listeners happy. Email after email asks for more smashed Pumpkin. So, 1 shooter, 1 strong ass cocktail and a couple slices of rum cake. That'll do her. After the demon rum starts coursing through her veins, her conversation goes south of the bikini. Pumpkin offers her 12 steps to a cheaper 2009. Free booze is good. Bar supplies on the cheap, we tell you how. Need to make some extra cash? Sell your stomach. All in this episode. Sunshine takes us back on course with Elvis Bday trivia and Mrs. Kravitz shenanigans. Our official drink of the week is the classic Dr. Funk. A refreshingly odd little drink. But damn good. There so much more but we honestly forgot to take notes, just listen and drink along.
This Weeks Drink: Dr. Funk
1.5 oz Dark rum
.25 oz Pastis or Absinthe
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz grenadine
1 oz lime juice (fresh squeezed)
Shake, shake, shake. Just pour into a tall glass filled with crushed ice. A long straw is perfect for Dr. Funk. Garnish with lemon wedge on rim and three or four cherries, olives or a combo of both. Funky!
The Zen Tiki Lounge podcast is hosted by a group of friends from our home tiki bar. The show focuses on Exotica Music, Cocktail Culture, Mid Century Modern, Kitsch and the "Island Lifestyle." Join us for a slightly inebriated trip into our dimly lit paradise.
