The last time we tiki’d with you was way back in the frosty winter of 2018 when the pineapples were chilling and the orchids were hibernating. Yes, it gets a tad frosty in Redondo Beach, Bub. That was for Tiki 101 at Hudson House. A crash course in […]
What happens when you combine an episode of Pretty Shiny Packaging with an episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table? Here’s the short answer… We first review a pretty shiny booze-centric product, then put it to use and review some booze. And now for the long answer… […]
The secret to a good recipe, aside from reading ALL of the directions and not skipping to the end, is having good ingredients… Stop buying the green bottle of lime, crack open that chain purse, and spend thirty cents on a real lime! Enough with the generic simple […]
Thanks to the wonders of technology, the West Coast Office and His Better Half (aka Mrs. Satellite Engineer aka LAKocktail. Never let it be said that we don’t love a good alias around here!) gathered at Krouse Island while I saddled up to The Murder Table for a […]
If you’re a regular reader, then you’ll immediately recognize this cocktail, which was featured in our review of El Guapo Bitters and Syrups. It’s called The Oaxacan Old Fashioned and it was inspired by a cocktail with the same name that we sampled at a local bar called […]

Like many a post-war baby (that war would be World War II, The Big One, WW2, or as it’s commonly known, Tom Brokaw’s retirement fund), I was introduced to Tiki culture at… a Chinese restaurant. During the 1960s and 1970s, Yue’s Cantonese Restaurant in Gardena, CA was […]
My inbox gets flooded with crap. Million dollar orders. Free trips to visit friends in Nigeria. Pharmaceutical offers for problems I didn’t even know I have.

AK: Hey, G-LO, do anything for Record Store Day this year? G-LO: Sure didn’t make it to a record store. I’ll blame those damn kids of mine for missing out on the fun. How about you? AK: I took a kid to a record store. And it was my kid. […]
