It’s been a while since we invited a new host into the Zen Tiki Lounge.  This week we are joined by Krista!  A huge fan of tiki and pop culture herself, Krista fits right in here in the ZTL.  Now Who’s ready for a cocktail?  Try a simple grapefruit daiquiri.  Sunshine and Krista sip this low calorie drink while Xavier Cugat and other great latin artists of the day.  This week is full of tips for entertaining with less calories, both food and drink.  You must try the Hawaiian Bruschetta paired with the Grapefruit Daiquiri.  Simply magical together.  And for the veggie lovers Krista has some tips on platters with dips that won’t break your waist.  We’re also talking about reusing things around the bar, keeping that cocktail lifestyle as green as possible.  Theres plenty more but my inebriated fingers are growing weak.  Listen to the show for all the rest.  Cheers!

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.

So you may not have been able to run off to Palm Springs this weekend, but Sunshine has put together a recap of the weekend event.  The heat was intense but so was the music, cocktails and shenanigans.  Rory Snyder put on a great event with excellent music and cocktails.  Martini Kings, Tikiyaki Orchestra, Elminators and Hula Girls were all there.  Cherry Capri made an appearance by the pool and hosted the fashion show.  Trio Restaurant hosted the bars and Coruba and Appleton Rums sponsored.  If you have a chance to get to Palm Springs we recommend you visit the Caliente Tropics for some relaxation by the pool and some great drinks to go with all the heat and sun.  The weekend proved to be very memorable.  Enjoy the show.

Sunshine and Starshine slithered into the lounge for a quickie podcast before heading to Tiki Oasis 9.  It wasn’t only the two of us that had current events (politics) on the mind, but many a listener has been asking what our point of view is.  We had to start with the perfect libation to melt away our inner monologue.  ”The Tiki” is not only a smooth drink but is also being served in our room at Tiki Oasis.  Now a little Les Baxter and we’re ready to talk.  Healthcare worries?  Pissed at the Fed?  Had enough of the religious right telling you how to live your life?  All your friends are married but you aren’t cause your gay?  We cover it all.  We end the show with what might be a recurring segment.  It occurred to us that gathering up all the nut jobs and putting them on a one way tour of the Grand Canyon might just solve all our woes.  Listen, enjoy.
