310 Cocktails By Ballast Point

Our listeners do often ask for a few quick cheats when making cocktails.  Although we prefer to hand mix everything fresh, there are times when a quick pre made drink is just what the Dr. ordered.  On this episode we sample the Bloody Mary and Mai Tai mixes from Ballast Point.  Both bottled mixes pass our rigorous standards and picky tastes.  Other show subjects include water saving tips for your bar, Tiki Oasis and Mod Palm Springs updates, and much more.

309 Mad Libs And Mai Tais

We take great pride in the many listeners and fans we have gotten to know over the years.  On this weeks show we sip a drink sent in my listener Stacie.  She adjusted a recipe for a ginger mai tai using our very own Sunshine's Very Spicy Rum or as she referred to it, SVSR.  Be sure to mix this for yourself and enjoy the show.  We have one of the first updates on the upcoming Mod Palm Springs event coming this October 10-13, 2014, great music by Arthur Lyman, Stolen Idols and the Tiki Delights.  Enjoy!
