429 Navy Style Rum And The Mystery Of The Cream Of Tartar

Aloha and welcome to our series of quarantine podcasts. Like most human beings we are at home, some of us still working while others are not. Our desire to get together and enjoy a cocktail has not slowed but in fact become even more important. For all these reasons we will continue to host the ZTL podcast but do so in two forms. Sunshine will be hosting mostly music format shows that focus on playing some of his favorite exotic tunes and give the listener a chance to just sit back. Sunshine and the Ladies of the Lounge will host Zoom casts which will sound and feel more like our typical posts. In either case you get the cocktails, music, conversation and more from your favorite dimly lit tiki bar that you can’t actually visit. The blog posts will be very abbreviated. We will share a bullet point list of subjects discussed and a recipe or link to any drinks.
