Zen Tiki Lounge

We always start with a beverage. Usually a spirited drink, but Starshine ask for a mocktail and we know better than upsetting her. The Insurrection was crafted just for dry January at Starshines request. This is one of our rare episodes with all four hosts present. Sunshine is doing his best to wrangle the cats and still share some tiki news and updates on new bars and events. The ladies were actually on their “better” behavior. Conversation includes: Dry January, soap making, a visit to the Lost Inferno, things you do only when in college, Pumpkins tips for staying youthful and thoughts about ..read more

During the recording of this, our 473rd episode, Pumpkin acted like she didn’t know how we start the show. There is a way of doing things. We may not be very professional but we do have some “best practices”. After clearing up who says Aloha first we get right to the cocktail, our listener mail and some party planning and hosting tips. Thats pretty much the show. We stuck to the basics. Listen, drink, enjoy! Below are two of our time tested holiday cocktails. Every tiki bar has a few festive rum concoctions to keep us all merry and bright. Start with Xmas Helper to get everyone in the mood fo ..read more

472 Are Tomatoes Tiki? And The Missionaries Downfall
Zen Tiki Lounge
by Sunshine Tiki
5M ago
Starshine and Kalani and Pumpkin, Oh my! All the ladies are in the lounge for one of our rare all host podcasts. If you hear meowing cats its because Sunshine couldn’t edit out all the cross talk. Sorry. Sunshine and the ladies have some catching up to do including: Summer tomato tastings from our gardens (it turns dirty say you may assume), what scent is your tiki bar (it also turns dirty), and what event was I ate when I was found passed out in a stairwell. Classic. We are drinking a lovely Summer Missionaries Downfall. This classic tiki drink from Don the Beachcomber in the 1940’s. Our vers ..read more

Sunshine and Kalani in the Zen Tiki Lounge for this episode. Sunshine surprised Kalani with one of her all time favorite drinks. Marooned! We first came across this drink in 2009 while visiting the Florida Keys. Then, we served it as one of two cocktails at Tiki Oasis 2010. Now, we are finally posting the recipe. Both hosts were back from vacations. Kalani spent 17 days in Hawaii doing a little island hopping while Sunshine was on an Alaskan cruise. Most of the conversations centers on our very different summer trips. Listen to the show to hear our vacay stories, mix yourself a marooned and do ..read more

Aloha, welcome to our LIVE recording at the Bamboo Club in Long Beach. The ZTL crew was looking forward to this podcast for many weeks and when it finally happened, we were ready to drink! That said, below are some of our favorite drinks from the Bamboo Club. From left to right: Zombie, Fog Cutter, Daiquiris, and the Mai Tai. Every drink we sipped was presented perfectly despite the bar not actually opening for a few hours. The Zombie was Sunshines first drink of the day at 9am and was perfectly balanced with the Zombie kick we expect from a drink named after the undead. We cannot recommend e ..read more

467 Fight!? What Fight? Aloooooooha
Zen Tiki Lounge

8M ago
April 1st is just another day. Though, there is one tradition we had never participated in. Practical jokes are always fun for someone but not always everyone. Well, we went for it with mostly positive “ha ha” results. On our previous episode the hosts of ZTL created a not so elaborate scheme to convince people that we had broken up due to a little tiki back stabbing. But not to worry, all is good with the four of us and this podcast is proof. What if there was a tiki centric football podcast? Would you listen? If Starshine and Kalani could no longer be in the same room together, would ZTL sti ..read more
