102 Dr. Chao's panda juice

Theres nothing better than a show just coming together. Although the first few minutes were a bit difficult due to the unpredictable nature of a certain someones canine, it all worked out. Pumpkin had her pooch Charles join us this week and he certainly didn't mind making plenty of noise. For some reason he wasn't too keen on the cocktail. We tried a pomegranate lemonade type concoction that is sure to please anyone who isn't looking for a complicated beverage. Sweet and tart and still packed with plenty o' booze. Speaking of drinks, Sunshine tells the listeners about a new iPhone application call "Drinks." This handy little app has over 4500 recipes and you can add your own, perfect for the bartender in all of us. We also discuss the Red Cross current ban on gay blood, the unexpected electrical usage of your wall air freshener and plenty of other shenanigans.

Drink of the Week Koro's Heart 3oz Pineapple juice (not from concentrate) .5oz fresh lemon juice 1oz pomegranate schnapps .5oz pomegranate syrup (we recommend Monin) Be sure to chill the glasses first, the frost really makes this drink a winner. Toss everything in a shaker with ice cubes, not crushed ice. Shake for just a moment and pour into chilled glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a single lemon wheel.

101 Monkey Poon, Old People and John McCain

The Zen Tiki Lounge is full of great tiki info this week and a brand new cocktail per the usual. The cocktail this week comes to us from the Belagio in Las Vegas, a snobby libation that pleases the taste buds and olfactory senses. Pumpkin brings us some discussion on working out with Jesus, a new aerobic exercise that is sweeping the southern states. She also shares a few stories from her most recent cruise along the eastern seaboard. Sunshine keeps a little more on topic with the first tid bits on Tiki Oasis VII coming in 2009. Sunshine brings some cool new websites for everyone to check out, you see our links below and be sure to give a hit and listen as these are also podcasts. Thats enough for a great show but Pumpkin tossed in a little banter about monkey poon because she has the endless need to bring the show down to a 4th grade level if you know what I mean. Still a great listen and an outstanding cocktail.

Drink of the Week
Nueva Vida
2oz Pineapple juics (not from concentrate)
1.5oz top shelf gold rum
.5oz Falernum
.5oz Amaretto
Juice of 1/2 fresh lime
Be sure to have a tall chilled glass ready with cubes of ice. Put everything in a shaker and give a good tossing. Strain and pour into glass. Top with grated nutmeg (careful not to add to much) and a mint sprig. Drink without a straw so you can enjoy the mint and nutmeg with every sip. Delicioso!

98 Tiki Oasis Here we come

Pumpkin has just returned from her trip to the east coast and just realized that she has become a bit of a cocktail snob. After two years of drinking fresh juice and fancy tiki cocktails she can no longer stomach the pre made crappy bar drinks served on cruise ships. Just goes to show that those who follow our cocktail making advice may discover that you have never really had a cocktail till you try one of ours. But, as luck would have it Pumpkin isn't in the lounge for long, her pooch was without a sitter and Sunshine had to call in co-host number 2. Luckily Starshine lives close by and was in need of a stiff drink. Starshine and Sunshine carry on with the show and get a little excited about their upcoming weekend in San Diego for Tiki Oaiss VIII. Listen for a spell and enjoy the shenanigans.

Drink of the Week
Chiquita's Hat
1oz Tropical Tequila
3/4oz 99 Bananas Schnapps
3/4oz Papaya Schnapps
4oz Dole Pine/Orange?Banana juice
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2oz juice from maraschino cherry jar
Lots of ingredients but easy to make. Use a tall collins glass or tall tiki mug. Fill 2/3 with crushed ice and pour in cherry juice. Add 1/2 cup crushed ice to shaker and toss in everything but the lime juice. Shake a few times and pour into glass. Top with lime juice. Garnish well with lime wedge, pineapple spear, maraschino cherry, orange wheel and anything else you see fit. This is after all supposed to look like Chiquita's Hat. Use a nice long straw to avoid poking your eye out when drinking. Ravashing!!!.

95 Drinking in a bubble

Our listener submitted drink this week is the Pan Galactic Gargleblaster from none other than the Geoff Stein Project. Sunshine and Pumpkin would like to tell you that this drink is simply wonderful, but only our listeners still attending frat parties will agree with that. Not to say we don't love trying new things but a ton of booze in a cup with some sugar doesn't necessarily make a great time. Needless to say it got our buzz going and that got our show on. Pumpkin shares her longing for a trip to the Glen Ivy day spa for a nice butt rub and also brings a little item in the lounge for some show and tell. Sunshine has a story about the horrors of having AT&T for your dreaded phone service. On the tiki side of things we also give some great tips on how to put a little tiki into any national holiday including the 4th of July. Also good for memorial day, labor day etc. Next week we bring you another listener drink, the much mentioned Kungaloosh. Listen often, drink when you can and tell a friend.
