A dimly lit tiki bar that lives in your head. Each and every podcast we bring you a new exotic cocktail followed by plenty of tiki talk, exotica tunes and whatever else your loyal hosts Sunshine, Pumpkin and Starshine care to dispense. Politics, religion and current events are all free game. This podcast is not for the kiddies, so remember to get a sitter before tuning in. Mahalo.

Just before heading off on an Alaskan cruise, Sunshine jumped behind the bar to record this quick little show. With fall approaching its a great time to spice some of your own rum and why not try making falernum at the same time. These two infusions are essential in tiki mixology and by making your own version you can assume more control over the flavor profile of your cocktails.

Read MoreSunshine has just returned from another cruise and can't help but discuss his thoughts on the pros and cons of the various lines. Certainly not a pro cruiser but not a beginner anymore either, Sunshine recommends cruise lines based on how well they shake a cocktail and the service that goes with it. Plus: See us all at the next Tiki Mâkeke at Don the Beachcomber, political banter (nothing too ugly), Christmas gift giving ideas and a brand spanking new cocktail for the winter blues.
Read MoreMusic Show! This episode of ZTL podcast is a musical tribute to the songs Sunshine loves the most, at least those that make him feel like relaxing in a hammock on the Hawaiian Islands. Enjoy slack key guitar, surf and Hawaiiana along with a stiff tropical cocktail. You will drift away one way or another.
