Our latest episode is well worth the wait. Pumpkin is well and rested after an illness of unknown origin. Here in the Zen Tiki Lounge we know the best cure all for any ill, cocktails and shenanigans. So this week is no different. Our drink this time around is a punch recipe meant to be shared with all of your friends and fellow tikiphiles. The flying monkey is full of rum and juice, and is sure to keep your party going. This week in the lounge Pumpkin contemplates her addiction to infomercials and her list of wacky and useless purchases. Sunshine discusses Tom Cruise as the new JESUS, yet Steve Wynn is probably a better candidate. The Dead Tones spin some tunes in the lounge and you can see them at Tiki Oasis VIII this August in San Diego. The show wouldn’t be complete without welcoming a few new listeners and we have no shortage. There must be a record number of folks tuning in over the internet, as February was our most listened to month in our two year history. Mahalo to all our friends and listeners for making our podcast so much fun to put together.

Drink of the Week
Flying Monkey
2 cans Dole Pineapple juice (not from concentrate)
3oz fresh lime juice
3oz fresh lemon juice
750ml coconut rum
750ml mango rum
2 cups amber rum
Pour everything into a nice large punch bowl and add some ice. Start with chilled ingredients to prevent to much melting of ice or use one large ice cube. Using a cake bundt pan filled halfway with water makes a great punch bowl ice cube.

Two years of podcasting in the Zen Tiki Lounge and hosts Sunshine and Pumpkin are ready for more. This very special anniversary show is full of cocktails and shenanigans. Our first cocktail takes us back to episode 1, back in March 2006. The pineapple pussy is a delicious concoction of fresh juices and Vodka. We don’t use the “V” word much in the lounge but every once in a while you can find a truly tiki cocktail made with Russia’s #1 export. We also try a great drink that listener Mark sent in. The Tiki Torch is not only a name but a very HOT drink. Both tasty and fiery. Shortly after the libations hit our funny side Pumpkin starts on her usual rant about topics as important as people having conversations with their co-workers while on the crapper. Sunshine was much more interested in telling everyone about the new show line up for this years Tiki Oasis VIII in San Diego this coming August 14-17. Lots of great bands, tiki vendors and plenty of fun in the sun. Lastly we couldn’t end the show without something totally inappropriate. Cum trees are in bloom and Pumpkin expresses her disgust with the not so enticing aroma of the pretty little flowered tree.

Drink of the Week
Mai Tai mixes
Sunshine and Pumpkin try two of the best selling pre made mai tai mixes for a review. One is pretty good, another not worth the drive to the liquor barn.
