431 Four Low Calorie Cocktails (Flashback Episode)

During the pandemic many of us been staying home as much as possible. On a very brief trip to the pharmacy Sunshine got in his car and for whatever reason the iPhone decided to play episode 240 of the podcast.

139 A Spoonful of Tiki Makes the Politics go Down

/

Lets face it, a good stiff drink makes it easier for even the most uptight person to discuss politics.  Sunshine and Kalani certainly don't need a cocktail for conversation about the subjects like "don't ask, don't tell" or gay marriage.  This episode is not all serious matters, we also discuss how helpful a good dose of ginger can be, both in your drink and to curb many ailments.  Mint is another great herb our cocktails can't do without.  And we have plenty of listener mail and comments as well.  Enjoy!
