SQ DrunkFishAloha and welcome to our Holiday Spectaculaarrr part 1.  Sunshine and Pumpkin are toasting drinks in the Zen Tiki Lounge and giving our faithful listeners plenty of Holiday conversation topics and ideas for the merriest of cocktail filled gatherings.  Pumpkin is trying to keep her holiday a little Zen, all her gifts have a purpose and come in reusable wrapping.  Check out Baggu.com for simple reusable tote bags in tons of colors that you can toss your gifts into.  Best of all, no waste.  Pumpkin also gives us some tips on how to avoid the high calories at the party buffet line (check out all the tips at (Real Simple Magazine).  Sunshine simply suggests giving booze to your friends and family.  Everyone will eventually use or need a good drink so no waste and the glass or plastic bottle is 100% recyclable.  How wonderful.  There is plenty of drunken behavior and inappropriate comments to go around this podcast.  Tune in next week for our intoxicating Holiday music show and gift exchange.

SQ Laguna BlueIt must be fall.  The temp here in the lounge dipped below 70 degrees this week.  That means it is time for some hot toddies.  Montanya Rum from Colorado is the star of our spiced apple cider drink du jour.  Montanya adds a special caramel note to the fresh pressed apple juice and allspice.  Getting toasted was never so easy.  And Pumpkin starts her rant about people sharing stories of their constipation. Jamie Lee Curtis better watch out, her yogurt adds may incite madness.  Sunshine announces boarding for the One Way Grand Canyon Tour.  Glenn Beck and company are getting ready for all the fun.  There’s plenty more so download, listen and drink up.  Mahalo!

Aloha and Merry Christmas.  Thats the general theme of our show this week, our last podcast before we sail on past the busiest holiday of the year and set course for the new year.  Both Sunshine and Pumpkin share some thoughts on great things you can do or buy for that special someone.  But, most importantly we have finally launched the Zen Tiki Store.  Need exotica for your music collection?  We got it.   Maybe some good reading about your favorite subject, RUM.  We have the covered also.  Bar trinkets, mugs, party goods etc.  Check out the store and shop knowing that each purchase helps us get that much closer to the tiki bar of our dreams and an upgraded podcast for all of you.  We also discuss the usual rant and rave about sex changes, old people spraying fox urine on children, the new Trader Vic’s in Chicago, custody battles for kitties and so much more.  The cocktail this week was a bit on the fierce side and Pumpkin got a little loopy.  So much the better.  Listen, drink, enjoy.

Drink of the week: Glogg

Mix 1 part Glogg(found in specialty food stores, its a Scandanavian holiday beverage mix) with 1 part water.  2oz Glogg with 2oz water works well.  Heat mixture, but do not boil.  Pour into Irish coffee mug and add 1oz Rum or Vodka.  Makes a great holiday treat.
