ZTL 150 Windows 7 Crashes the Lounge

SQ Beachcomber BArSunshine and Starshine are getting ready for the spookiest Halloween yet.  The giant punch bowl will be filled with “The Witches Minge” punch.  Sure to get all your creeps and ghouls in the mood for a frightful evening in your tiki bar or any other room of the house.  Just as scary is the launch of Windows 7 and the awesome videos on youtube.  Have you seen the Windows 7 Launch Party? If not, you must.  Quite possily one of the most horrible marketing campaigns ever thought up.  But we can all sit back and poke fun at the retardedness.  We give you plenty of other reasons to listen this week so tune in to hear them all.  And, don’t forget to tell at least one friend about the podcast so you can spread us like VD.

Try “The Witches Minge”

2 oz passion fruit juice

1 oz pineapple juice

1 oz orange juice

1 oz passion fruit vodka

1 oz amber rum (Mt. Gay works well)

Squeeze of lemon juice

Toss everything in your shaker with ice.  Pour into tiki mug filled with crushed ice.  Garnish with pineapple spear.  You can also make a large batch and serve in a punch bowl, float an ice ring in the punch bowl.

ZTL 149 Balloon Boy is an Alien!

SQ BromeliadsHoly flying toddlers Batman!  Those crazy self acclaimed descendants of aliens are sending little Jimmy up in a flying saucer balloon again.  This calls for a stiff cocktail.  Pumpkin shows up in the lounge with mystery ingredients as a way to challenge Sunshines mixing skill.  A little blood orange bitters, some Hawaiian pineapple soda and plenty of rum made for a good drink in just 5 minutes.  Tiki news is back this week, bringing you some of the best places to catch some live exotica or get hammered on your favorite libations.  Don’t miss Hulaween at the famous Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale and be sure to visit PaperPumpkins.com to print out Tiki Jack O-Lantern patterns.  As we promised the Grand Canyon one way tour is starting boarding this week with final boarding next week.  Glen Beck, Dick Cheney and all the rest are already on the bus waiting but if you feel we have missed someone be sure to send us an email to nominate more folks for the tour.  There is plenty more show besides all this, so download and listen to the train wreck we call the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast.

ZTL 148 Does SPAM Cause Swine Flu?

Aloha and welcome to the only tiki bar that lives in your head.  On this weeks podcast we discuss the sometimes frowned upon delicacy known as SPAM.  Not really into processed pig?  Thats OK.  Try our cocktail of the week first, the Mayan Mai Tai.  Then try the SPAM.  Pumpkin also takes us on another walk through the wonderful world of natural healing and shares some awesome new Halloween trends.  Do you need dead babies for your yard?  We got you covered.  Sunshine introduces listeners to a new online radio station, similar to Pandora but this one has lots of exotica.  Check out Slacker radio online or on your mobile phone.  Slacker has over 3,000,000 songs, and some of them are even real exotica.  Since we took a week off we made sure to answer plenty of listener mail and give some advice for those of you who asked.  Mahalo and enjoy the show.
