This show/podcast is many things, but it is not one thing.  As this episode showcases, we cover just about everything.  If you ever wondered the best method for crushing ice for cocktails and what size that ice should be?  We got it.  Need tips on reducing the environmental impact of your next party?  Done.  Where to find healthy veggies for your family? Want to buy and drink booze and save the planet, check.  How about some info on upcoming tiki events or a review of past events.  Also, check.  Toss in a good helping of exotic tunes and some a really big daiquiri and were all set for this weeks shenanigans.  Starshine joins Sunshine this week and we delve into some of the flotsam of current events.  Americans continue to get fatter, Hawaii 5-0 is back, Escapism is the “new” hip pastime for home decorating, banking scams by major institutions, men are giving more hugs and liking it……and so on.  When you can’t get away to your favorite bar for a while to escape just join us here in the Zen Tiki Lounge.

Our song of the week is: Build Your House  Underground by Kava Kon

Sunshines Daiquiri:

3 cups chopped frozen fruit

2 cups crushed ice

6oz Rum (any kind you like, I prefer half silver and half amber or dark)

Splash of OJ or Pineapple juice, just enough to get things moving around in the blender

Put everything in a good blender and give it a whirl.  Serves 2 to 3 depending on the size if your glass.

For the third time in over 5 years, all four hosts are here in the Zen Tiki Lounge.  This episode may be a bit loud, reminiscent of a drunken frat party, but still very well worth the listen.  Sunshine, Pumpkin, Starshine and Kalani are all here fighting to own the microphone.  To get us started we try the newly concocted Sailor Mary cocktail.  This punch like drink is bright red and well garnished and will be served at Tiki Oasis for our official room crawl party.  Can’t make it to Tiki Oasis or one of the other weekend events this Summer, just stay tuned to this podcast for highlights and shenanigans.  Pumpkin is ahead of her game this time and is sharing her list of BS holidays for the month of August.  Don’t forget to celebrate national hair pulling day?  And, by listener requests, we have added 100% more exotica to the show.  The tunes are louder and we play em longer.  We will also be ditching Pumpkins usual quote at the end of the show for a song from one of our favorite bands or a classic exotic artist.  This week we play out the show with The Exotics and their wonderful tune “Shanghai.”  We still have a bit of room for a few more listeners  to join us for a live podcast in August if you are attending Tiki Oasis, just send a note to mail@zentikilounge.com to let us know you are interested.  Cocktails will be served, 21 and over ONLY.

ZTL 178 Is There a Cocktail Mix Good Enough For ZTL?

(This weeks show is filled with a bit more profanity than usual.  The result of bad booze) We are always open to NEW things.  Even if the NEW thing is OLD.  Listener Hula Harriet asked if we could make a cocktail using a pre bottled mixer.  Sunshine is good enough behind the bar to work with pretty much anything, but when you are used to fresh juice and no artificial anything…..a mix just won’t due.  Kalani and Sunshine dumped the drink and made something fresh.  Starting the show with a less than fabulous cocktail may have tainted the entire show, as both hosts ranted about taboo political subjects.  Illegal immigrants, Uganda hates gays, and Republicans love Jesus are just some of the less than tiki topics we were forced to discuss after bad liquor.  After a more appropriate drink set in we get back into a Tiki Oasis update and tell you how to be on the podcast if attending Tiki O.  Sunshine also vents about gifts that aren’t worth giving and how consumerism is killing America.  Listen, drink, enjoy.
