ZTL 167 Earth Day, Green Day, Everyday

Play

This week Pumpkin is still sick and requested a virgin drink.  As much as I hated to oblige, I made her the same drink I was having sans the booze.  It actually tasted pretty damn good but I couldn’t get over the missing kick from alchiehol.  I discovered that my favorite two flavors of jelly bean just happen to suppose a societal outcome.  Yeah, the rest of the show is pretty much like that as well.  Pumpkin remains a bit loopy from the cold meds and I enjoy a Puckered Parrot.  Try one for yourself at Tiki Oasis this August.

ZTL 166 Benedictine Monks and Icelandic Volcanoes

Play

Every now and again we record a show that has a life of its own.  This week Sunshine and Starshine sat down with a lovely Oahu Sling and a page full of notes.  Just moments after the sling kicked in we started several tangents about anything but what we intended to talk about.  Luckily we were able to remind our listeners that it is now time to book your tickets and room reservations for Tiki Oasis. Not only can you see the entire ZTL crew at Tiki O this year, but this is the 10th anniversary of tiki shenanigans in beautiful San Diego.  Can’t make it to the west coast?  How about Fort Lauderdale for the Hukilau in June?  Tiki Kiliki and friends put on the most intimate of tiki gatherings, one of this summers sure fire events.  Not to long ago our friend Tiwaka sent us a couple of books to give to listeners and this week we give away three books to some of our most adored fans.  Get your copy by visiting The Parrot Talks in Chocolate.com.   Chinese ninjas, Icelandic volcanoes, coconut dairy substitutes and wet dogs are just some of the other intriguing topics this week.  Don’t forget to join us on facebook or send us your comments to mail@zentikilounge.com

ZTL 165 The Guilty Wahine

Play

Have you ever wondered what kind of drink fits on occasion?  Heres a cocktail for an occasion some of us have personal experience with.  The Guilty Wahine: start with the fresh squeezed juice of 2 good size limes, add  3/4 oz. coconut cream, 1.5 oz. Cruzan Coconut Rum, add a splash of Anejo Rum.  Shake it real good with crushed ice and pour into a tall sexy glass.  Top with a good spiced rum like Sailor Jerry or Zaya Gran Reserve, 1 oz.  Garnish with a lime wedge pierced by a sword and cherry.  Now sit back in your chair, put the straw to your lips, inhale the aroma of the citrusy sweet paradise, enjoy.  Now what does this have to do with that Wahine?  Well, here it comes.  A guy comes home from a long day working the front desk at a beach front resort.  He slips off his hard shoes and feels the floor with his bare feet.  Ahhhhh, so much better.  Grabs the remote, sits down and puts on his favorite show.  Coming into the room, SHE says “would you like a nice drink?”  He eagerly accepts.  After 10 minutes of watching the big wave surf classic she brings him an innocent looking frosty concoction.  Without a word he starts sucking it down.  Sour like lime-aid but sweet and creamy like coconut pie.  The spice rum float made it tempting to drink from the top as well.  And suddenly the drink was gone.  She asks “you want another one?”  He was already shaking his head before she finished her words.  Sure, she says.  But first I wanted to tell you that my mother will be staying with us for a few weeks.  She will be here, (Surprised) “Oh, theres the door now.”  The guy stares at her “innocent” looking smile.  He looks into her eyes and says “lets not forget about that second drink.”  He thought to himself that he knew that her mother was coming.  She always makes me this drink when she’s not telling me something.  At least he could look forward to the mother in law visiting in one way.

I don’t usually gone on so much about a tiki drink.  But you just need to mix this one up and sip while you listen to the show.  Consider it a prerequisite.  Mahalo to all of you who sent in your vacation pic of sunny tropical destinations.  Visit ZenTikiLounge.com for everything and anything.
