A dimly lit tiki bar that lives in your head. Each and every podcast we bring you a new exotic cocktail followed by plenty of tiki talk, exotica tunes and whatever else your loyal hosts Sunshine, Pumpkin and Starshine care to dispense. Politics, religion and current events are all free game. This podcast is not for the kiddies, so remember to get a sitter before tuning in. Mahalo.
Few things are more intoxicating than Halloween in a tiki bar. The lights are already dim, the cocktails already strong and the mood couldn't be more foreboding. Enjoy our annual Halloween podcast with cocktail recipes and exotica that you can copy/paste to create your own shindig for 2 or many. Cheers!

Read MoreOur listeners do often ask for a few quick cheats when making cocktails. Although we prefer to hand mix everything fresh, there are times when a quick pre made drink is just what the Dr. ordered. On this episode we sample the Bloody Mary and Mai Tai mixes from Ballast Point. Both bottled mixes pass our rigorous standards and picky tastes. Other show subjects include water saving tips for your bar, Tiki Oasis and Mod Palm Springs updates, and much more.

We have one of the first updates on the upcoming Mod Palm Springs event coming this October 10-13, 2014, great music by Arthur Lyman, Stolen Idols and the Tiki Delights. Enjoy!
