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.
Podcast roll call. Sunshine, yes. Starshine, yes. Kalani, yes. Pumpkin, not present.
Sunshine and the Lady Hobos (listen for those details) are cooped up inside via ZOOM to avoid both a pandemic and 90 plus degree temps. Good thing we always start off with a cool libation. This episode we enjoy Three Legged Flamingo.
Read MoreStep into the Zen Tiki Lounge for some cocktails, conversation and shenanigans. Sunshine and Starshine are sipping on the Poker DICK, our latest cocktail that can be made by just about any bartender at even the seediest of joints. Sunshine is enthralled with Rick Lax the internet magician. And we have some friends at Tiki Bar T-Shirt Club that we want to tell you all about. Plus! music by Les Baxter and Robert Drasnin.
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 MoreAloha Tiki Friends, it's a brand new week in the Zen Tiki Lounge and we are both ready for some unwinding. Our little drinky this week is the Ward Eight. A bourbon style concoction makes a rare appearance in the Lounge. If you only drink foo fu drinks you should still try this one. A classic sour drink. A drink named after an insane asylum is just what Pumpkin needed to get her started on Jesus bashing and old people trashing. Sunshine revisits the nipple problem, just where exactly does that milk come from. We also take another look at the mystery of the snuggie, the worlds best selling infomercial product of all time! Really! And thats just a sample of the great bag of crap in this weeks podcast. Remember to share with a friend....the cocktail too.
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.
