449 Auntie PuPu Gets A Visit From Mama Juana

The last new podcast from the ZTL crew was March 15 2021. Apparently we all needed three months off. As all of your hosts started to either return to work or get ready for workplaces that are reopening to the public, things got a little crazy.

This episode was almost a little emotional to record. Sunshine and Kalani are behind the mic with a fantastic new gin cocktail and no scripted talking points at all. Kalani does not like gin but she did enjoy Auntie PuPu’s Butterfly. The drink changes color when acid is added and looks amazing in pictures. It also tastes great. Follow the link for the recipe and try making this one at home. One tip. Get your own bag of butterfly pea flowers and start making the tea right away. Fun!

This episode includes:

Lost of listener mail and iTunes reviews

The smell of space

Mama Juana home infusing challenge

Tiki Oasis Arizona or AZTO actually happened

Inebriated banter and a nice exotica soundtrack for your 60 minute jog, drive, flight etc.

Podcast listener Meredith asked if we had come across a spirit from the Dominican Republic called Mama Juana. And if we had, what would we mix it with. Sunshine had the “pleasure” of trying this infused rum/wine beverage while at Tiki Oasis in 2011 in an elevator of all placed. Not thinking about till the question was asked we have never bought any or mixed any. As luck would have it you can purchase a bag of Mama Juana herbs online and make your own without having to travel to the DR. Stay tuned for a future podcast when we can play with mixing cocktails with this Caribbean concoction.

Ahhhhhhh, the smell of space. Something most human beings will never have the opportunity to experience. A while back Sunshine noticed a kickstarter offer the chance to smell what the blackness of space is like. Turns out its like burnt meat, gunpowder and Bactene. You can still get a bottle for curiosity but be careful. This stuff is POTENT!
