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.
On this episode we share the winners of the Circa Caliente room crawl. 14 rooms joined the crawl and participated in the inaugural year. Below are the winners of Best Drink, Best Decor and Best Overall Room. To all who participated we send a huge Mahalo for your hard work and dedication to such a fun event. Without all of our hosts the event would be 14 cocktails less fun. Cheers!
Read MoreThis 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.
