ZTL 103 Two shakes of pineapple juice
Zen Tiki Lounge
This weeks episode is a little sick in more than one way. Not only
was Sunshine deathly ill from a killer cold, but Pumpkin felt like
discussing a subject that many of you may find extremely revolting.

This weeks episode is a little sick in more than one way. Not only
was Sunshine deathly ill from a killer cold, but Pumpkin felt like
discussing a subject that many of you may find extremely revolting.
Sunshine gets up on his soap box to warn everyone about the evils
of concentrated pineapple juice as it is one of the needed
ingredients for many a tiki cocktail. Check those lables carefully
or you may end up with a poor tasting mai tai. Our regular
listeners were very active in the past few weeks, giving us lots of
subject matter and even some Music. Thank you to Peter for the cool
80's tunes and listener Don for the feedback on a previous show
topic, the merkin. Because Sunshine was so ill he didn't conjure up
a new cocktail so we had some old favorites instead. Try a Yellow
Bird for example, always a crowd pleaser and Pumpkins favorite
cocktail. Click HERE to get yourself registered to VOTE! Click HERE
to see the High Fructose Corn Syrup commercials, you won't believe
the LIES!!!. Drink of the Week Yellow Bird3oz Pineapple juice (not
from concentrate)1oz banana schnapps1oz coconut rumUse a small
hurricane glass for this one. Put all ingredients in a shaker with
ice and pour into chilled glass with cubed ice. This drink is for
those with a sweet tooth. Don't like em so sweet? Try a squeeze of
lime, it works well with this cocktail.

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. Click HERE to get yourself registered to VOTE! Click

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.

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. Click HERE to get yourself registered to VOTE! Click HERE

Vida2oz Pineapple juics (not from concentrate)1.5oz top shelf gold

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

Drink without a straw so you can enjoy the mint and nutmeg with
every sip. Delicioso!

Sunshine and Pumpkin could not be happier about recording the 100th
podcast. Not only was this a lot of fun, having so many listeners
in the lounge but we met some new drinkers/listeners and a blast
doing it. To get the party going we started off with the group
sucking of a very large Scorpion Bowl, followed by several other
favorite cocktails from the Zen Tiki Lounge. We honestly tried to
make it through one show without mention of Pumpkins vagina
troubles but one of our guests brought it up before we could put a
stop to it. We also had a few unexpected bits of shenanigans that
caught us off guard. This is just one of those shows you need to
listen to and pretend you were part of it. Really!!! For this weeks
cocktail just mix up a scorpion to share with friends or try one of
the other great ZTL cocktails from our tour down memory lane. Look
below to find the link to the Bikini Beachcombers, some of their
great tunes played on this episode. Click HERE to visit the Bikini
Beachcombers myspace page, get some of the music already! Click

Week Scorpion Bowl6oz Silver Rum4oz fresh squeezed lemon juice6oz
fresh squeezed orange juice2oz Orgeat1oz BrandyJust toss it all in
a large communal bowl with lots of crushed ice and you and 3
friends are ready to get the party started. Garnish with a single
gardenia or orchid floating on top, BEAUTIFUL.

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. Click HERE to visit the official Tiki Oasis site.
Drink of the Week Chiquita's Hat1oz Tropical Tequila3/4oz 99
Bananas Schnapps3/4oz Papaya Schnapps4oz Dole Pine/Orange?Banana
juiceJuice of 1/2 lime1/2oz juice from maraschino cherry jarLots 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!!!.
