This 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.

Drink of the Week
Yellow Bird
3oz Pineapple juice (not from concentrate)
1oz banana schnapps
1oz coconut rum
Use a small hurricane glass for this one.  Put all ingredients in a shaker with ice and pour into chilled glass with cubed ice. This drink is for those with a sweet tooth.  Don't like em so sweet?  Try a squeeze of lime, it works well with this cocktail.

Theres 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 is full of great tiki info this week and a brand new cocktail per the usual. The cocktail this week comes to us from the Belagio in Las Vegas, a snobby libation that pleases the taste buds and olfactory senses. Pumpkin brings us some discussion on working out with Jesus, a new aerobic exercise that is sweeping the southern states. She also shares a few stories from her most recent cruise along the eastern seaboard. Sunshine keeps a little more on topic with the first tid bits on Tiki Oasis VII coming in 2009. Sunshine brings some cool new websites for everyone to check out, you see our links below and be sure to give a hit and listen as these are also podcasts. Thats enough for a great show but Pumpkin tossed in a little banter about monkey poon because she has the endless need to bring the show down to a 4th grade level if you know what I mean. Still a great listen and an outstanding cocktail.

Drink of the Week
Nueva Vida
2oz Pineapple juics (not from concentrate)
1.5oz top shelf gold rum
.5oz Falernum
.5oz Amaretto
Juice of 1/2 fresh lime
Be sure to have a tall chilled glass ready with cubes of ice. Put everything in a shaker and give a good tossing. Strain and pour into glass. Top with grated nutmeg (careful not to add to much) and a mint sprig. Drink without a straw so you can enjoy the mint and nutmeg with every sip. Delicioso!

Sunshine and Pumpkin could not be happier about recording the 100th podcast. Not only was this a lot of fun, having so many listeners in the lounge but we met some new drinkers/listeners and a blast doing it. To get the party going we started off with the group sucking of a very large Scorpion Bowl, followed by several other favorite cocktails from the Zen Tiki Lounge. We honestly tried to make it through one show without mention of Pumpkins vagina troubles but one of our guests brought it up before we could put a stop to it. We also had a few unexpected bits of shenanigans that caught us off guard. This is just one of those shows you need to listen to and pretend you were part of it. Really!!! For this weeks cocktail just mix up a scorpion to share with friends or try one of the other great ZTL cocktails from our tour down memory lane.
