411 Coffee Cocktails, Opium Las Vegas, Orange Curacao, Millenial "Tiki" Bars, Rockabilly

April 27, 2019/ Sunshine Tiki

Some side effects of this podcast include dry mouth, lazy eye, permanent erection and death. Or maybe those are some of the more common potential issues with most of the medications you see on TV. We suggest mixing our custom coffee cocktail called Flamingo Swamp before you enjoy this episode of ZTL. Sunshine and Starshine LOVE their coffee and LOVE It even more when you add spirits. Listen for the recipe. Also on this show: hmmmmmm, just listen. Feeling lazy.

Please join us on this episode of Zen Tiki Lounge podcast for the usual bar banter, drink recipes and friendly advice. Sunshine, Kalani and Starshine got together relatively last minute for an unplanned recording session. We discuss the out of control flavors of modern beverages, crafting new drinks with ingredients you want to blow through, old workplace shenanigans, are Costco spirits worth it?, sold out Tiki Caliente event, avoiding hangovers and so much more.

406 Would You Motorboat A Mermaid?

January 30, 2019/ Sunshine Tiki

In the history of ZTL podcast the ladies have never enjoyed an all spirit cocktail. Things change! Finally. Sunshine was inspired by a recent trip to the local booze barn and played with some new ingredients. Over the years we have talked about the Wreck Bar in Ft. Lauderdale a few times. Sunshine and husband have had the pleasure of visiting a few times while spending a little time in town before and after hopping on cruise ships. And after our second round of Smudge Pots we moved on to trying some recent purchases from a local LA distillery.

Place Holder: full blog notes in progress...please listen and enjoy for now.

Below: Sunshine Tiki takes you on a quick preview of room party hosted by Zen Tiki Lounge at Tiki Caliente 10 in Palm Springs, May 2018

Those of us who attend weekend long tiki parties often have a hard time explaining to others what we did for 3-5 days. The best way is to show you. Below you see lots of fantastic cocktails from all those who hosted on the crawl this year at Tiki Caliente 10. Room themes were outstanding as you can see. Pirates, mermaids, casino, Godzilla and Monkeys just to name a few.

396 I'll Take A Tiki Bar Over An Oscar Party Any Day

March 04, 2018/ Sunshine Tiki

Its Oscar night and Sunshine wants nothing to do with it. Who needs to see a bunch of entitled people get dressed up and ramble on about all the "amazing" things they have done? Not us! Thats a perfect time for a quick podcast with lite commentary and lots of exotica. This show will best be enjoyed with a nice rum drink and a set of headphones. Sip a Rumhattan in your dimly lit corner and enjoy 45 minutes of vintage exotica recorded from vinyl.

382 Starshine Tiki and Her Two Handed "Richard" Joke

June 07, 2017/ Sunshine Tiki

Just 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.

379 Juan Bahama And The Exotic Asian Chill Out

April 29, 2017/ Sunshine Tiki

Sunshine and Starshine are behind the microphone on this episode. We settle into the lounge, dim the lights and begin sipping a blended drink that was inspired by a meme. Sure, inspiration can come from anywhere. Juan Bahama may or may not run for office in 2020 but you enjoy this frosty libation regardless of the political climate.
