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.

Without going into to much detail lets just say that Sunshine is finally getting his wish to be launched into space. Shenanigans and inebriation should ensue from there. Julio has been working on short films and has a love of acting/performing. So bottom line, Julio will be directing and staging the series while Sunshine gets to do what he does best. Drink and laugh.

Sunshine and the Lady Hobos (listen for those details) are cooped up inside via ZOOM to avoid both a pandemic and 90 plus degree temps. Good thing we always start off with a cool libation. This episode we enjoy Three Legged Flamingo.

On this episode we showcase some local products including SoCal Rum and Simply Gala syrups, both used in a new cocktail the SoCal Hibiscus Flower.
