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.
This re post is from 2006. Sunshine and Pumpkin were the two original hosts of the Zen Tiki Lounge podcast. We were still finding ourselves. Cocktails were mediocre at best. Our conversation was far more crass if you can believe it. We discussed less tiki and complained a lot about most things in life. Things are a good deal different know but take a listen way back.....
Read MoreTheres 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.

Drink of the Week Koro's Heart 3oz Pineapple juice (not from concentrate) .5oz fresh lemon juice 1oz pomegranate 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 podcast is hosted by a group of friends from our home tiki bar. The show focuses on Exotica Music, Cocktail Culture, Mid Century Modern, Kitsch and the "Island Lifestyle." Join us for a slightly inebriated trip into our dimly lit paradise.
