Read MoreServing an appropriate drink before dinner is a true sign of class. Campari Kraken pairs well with heavy meat dishes like stews, pork, beef and mutton. Campari is known to soothe the digestive system and is also good for taming the most imposing of company.
Read MoreOnce upon a time, every good tiki bar had a coffee rum drink menu. At least 3 or more decent after dinner drinks that helped you "sober" before going home. We may no longer be under the delusion that drinking coffee will help you get ready to operate a motor vehicle, but we certainly subscribe to the train of thought that our stimulants and depressants should be mixed together. Try Iced Lava Java on your next warm morning.
Read MoreAgricole Rhum from the French Pacific, Tahitian Vanilla and fresh juices create this sweet and lively libation you won't be able to set down. Smoky Rhum and Vanilla were meant to be together. Be sure to follow the full recipe and directions carefully so you can craft this one in your home bar.
Read MoreA good spiced rum drink is hard to find. Mostly because many spiced rums are crap. This little number is all about the SPICE.

Read MoreIts hard to believe that after literally 100's of cocktails on this podcast we never put together a banana drink worth sharing. Well, here it is. The Banana Cream Pie cocktail blends fresh banana puree, three rums, brown sugar and fresh whipped cream. Not too sweet, just the right amount of tropical goodness. You will drink at least 4!

Read MoreTangerine Cello is easy to make and a really nice sweet addition to many drinks including iced tea, cocktails and soda water. Make some in the winter when fruit is ripe and again in fall when the next crop comes in. Give a bottle as a gift and include the simple cocktail recipe we included with this entry.
Read MoreOnce upon a time during a holiday party many many years ago, Kalani asked Sunshine for a cocktail. Normally Sunshine is happy to oblige and quickly fashions a cocktail for anyone who asks. But on this occasion Sunshine was well into a drunken conversation with another partygoer. Kalani wandered into the kitchen to make herself a beverage. She looked around and assessed what was available on the makeshift bar and tossed a few ingredients into a glass with ice. After a few sips she realized that she might be onto something. Her drink was passed around from lip to lip and sip to sip. What a wonderful holiday beverage she had created. This was the birth of Kalanis' Punani.
