Bossanova Life comes to The Breezeway

[@edwardburke-od9wf]

Really good episode; a favorite of mine. 😎👍🏻

[@rickball3147]

Rolling citrus absolutely gets more juice. Breaks up the fibers and juice cells. Also the release of oils from the skin gives you a nice aroma.

[@pinuplylablush1784]

Yes, absolutely. I use to bartend many moons ago and we all rolled the citrus beforehand.

[@frankmartinez4856]

Going down the Oregon trail 😳my 1955 Buick Roadmaster, came from there 🎉from a farmer 🤗 saw you at my first Viva/ first band (Hula Girls) Now will see you again 🥰😬Oh! Yah! Saw Bossa Nova, just second ago 😵‍💫

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

See ya at VLV!

[@pixiedustcrafter]

For the love of God, Spike-please move the greenery. How many guests have to struggle with it?

[@dvldogusmc2000]

No way!!! You have to be able to survive the Breezeway Jungle to be on the show. Ed and McBiff can do it... so anyone should be able too!! ;)

[@juliestockton8079]

I roll my limes every time! It definitely softens them which I think allows you to extract the most juice!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Maybe so!

[@davezortea]

My wife swears by the rolling of the lime. I skip it….ain't nobody got time for that!😅

[@itsjackbandit]

The rivalry no one saw coming: Duke vs Fern

[@BossaNovaLife]

Bwaaaahaha

[@thedoctor755]

The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland :)

[@BossaNovaLife]

We are from Eugene, but Portland has its reputation. Lol

[@BG-gr7fh]

Portlandia

[@chrisbonomo7934]

The next guest needs to bring some pruning shears 😂

[@davezortea]

I LOVE Duke and Lola and having them on here has been a long time coming. Perfect! Very entertaining. Loved all the background on the various bars. Always enjoy the sharing of tiki history and such.

[@BossaNovaLife]

Thanks man. That is so kind.

[@chrish9698]

Fantastic episode! My wife and I are big fans of Duke & Lola so we were happy to see you all get together, even if poor Duke couldn’t find a place to stand without knocking his noggin 😁. We also love how the tale of the “Palmer Pour” of 151 rum has now become the stuff of legends and is part of the lore of the Breezeway 😅!

[@BossaNovaLife]

Haha. Well we shot this at 11pm after 4 hours of shooting the breezeway, so I was jetlagged and a bit out of it. Spike was great.

[@chrish9698]

Can’t wait to see what you guys shot@@BossaNovaLife and hopefully you’ll be able to make it to the Tiki spots and vintage car shows in the Great Lakes area some time soon 😁!

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sonnysoto8337]

Awesome!!! I'm a big fan of their KZbin channel.

[@BossaNovaLife]

Thanks. Spike is a great guy

[@viewer-cs1wn]

The poor guest guy keeps getting hit on the head by a plastic plant!

[@edwardburke-od9wf]

A very enjoyable and entertaining episode! I’ve been wanting to try the Hawaiian Sunset, so thanks for featuring it - now I have somewhat of an idea of what to expect. Aloha Spike, Duke, and Lola from VT.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

It's worth making!

[@SteveKryworuka]

I do "the thing" I don't know that it gives more juice, but it softens the fibers up making it easier to squeeze

[@pinuppalmer]

For the record …I did not over poor. On purpose….I’m just a idiot .

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

lol

[@IGee88]

Intrigued on the taste of this cocktail.....Going to have to bloody well make it now!

[@Dr_Bombay]

made this tonight, and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it is. ours came out more pink than brown, but that must be because of the grenadine we used (NOT Rose's, but still, very vibrant red).

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

It's a good one!

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

Looks great to me. I LOVE the BEAUTIFUL flower set in her hair! I love that Tiki Bar. I shall try this drink.

[@scottgoyette3154]

Great episode Duke and Lola are super nice. I’m making this drink tomorrow. Another great one man keep up the great work Aloha

[@BossaNovaLife]

Thanks. It was fun!

[@aknorth1053]

I c9uld be wrong but I think the grenadine is a a pour over at the end that helps gives a layered look so more like a hawaiin sunrise

[@H20Spy]

Made it. Fantastic! Instant spot on the Hindsight Tiki Bar drink menu. Thank you for all of your hard work bringing the history and flavor back to us. Maybe a sugar rim for the garnish?

[@JennyStarr13]

Lola I totally do the same with lemons and limes 😂 in my head it totally does something.

[@pinuplylablush1784]

Duke and Lola kill'n it!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@AnnaMariaSophiaCancelli]

Spike! You've got you've got to get Aloha Caftan Society members on the show! Caftan! Caftan! Contact Baby Doe! Caftan! 😂

[@BossaNovaLife]

But what is a Caftan he asks?

[@LunarWind59]

Another great episode, Spike! Thanks for sharing tonight's drink recipe!

[@margoodonnell3309]

The meet up at the Madonna Inn is called Pink Caftan's on Parade on a weekend in October.

[@danboutell9363]

I always roll my limes! I'll stop doing it when they pry one out of my cold, dead hands! 🙂

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

lol

[@bobbbababobo]

Rolling citrus breaks up the pulp to a degree allowing easier extraction of the juice. It also expresses some oils from the peel giving your bar top surface a refreshing scent, and possibly damaging the finish over time.

[@darrenandtinasale1502]

I made this cocktail a few months ago and it was a bit more pink in colour. I guess it depends on the brand of orgeat and grenadine used. I agree it’s an unusual taste to many Tiki cocktail but not bad.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Totally. It was an interesting one!

[@georgetellado1401]

Fun show…think I will pass on the cocktail 😂, great to be back in the Breezeway ❤

[@knight2013]

Roll the limes!

[@LunarWind59]

Loved the Johnny 5 add!

[@boytardo_clips]

my grandpa invented the Hawaiian sunset for a special event with the Chiquita banana lady ....he was a bartender in the military alot of these drinks know one really knows where they cam from

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Really??

[@boytardo_clips]

​@@BreezewayCocktailHour bro! he had crazy bartending gigs theres proof somewhere idk this was ages ago

[@davidkral7317]

Kool.

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

Spike - I'll be in Vegas apr 18-21 but to see phish at the sphere. Still gonna try come see your band if I can! Love your show, too. Can't wait for your Hamilton rum to come out.

[@BossaNovaLife]

You will need High Roller Wrist bands for the Viva event. :)

[@edwardburke-od9wf]

I’m having a Hawaiian Sunset while watching this Hawaiian Sunset! I like it - more complex than I thought it would be. Curious about the grenadine though- your recipe calls for three teaspoons, while the version of the total Tiki app it calls for one teaspoon grenadine. I’ll have to try it with three tps next time.

[@lenalight3788]

Great episode!! That puffer 😂

[@bob___]

I used to do "the thing," but now what I do is trim the ends and cut the lime the long way (with the grain instead of against the grain). It's a lot easier to juice that way, and you get more juice, because you're not trying to squeeze the lime against all of those fibers that make up the internal structure of the lime (the grain). Also, if you want a lime wedge for a garnish, just cut however many wedges you need before squeezing.

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Good point!

[@edwardburke-od9wf]

And according to your cocktail test, Spike: I WOULD order it again. I’m getting “blueberry Pop-Tart (tm) for sure.

[@airtiki2374]

funny I just watched their coverage of Viva Las Vegas 2023

[@BossaNovaLife]

Thanks!

[@Meowknits]

I love her dress! Can you please find out its source?

[@pcaetano7527]

Made the drink but changed out the lemon for a tangerine and the vodka with white rum ... So much better.

[@LouisZavala-n2f]

So I juice my limes like this.. first WASH em good, then cut a lime in half and juice as normal. Afterwards take those juiced shells and stack em on top of each other in your squeezer and juice it again. You end up getting 1/4~1/2oz extra juice plus more of those tasty oils from the peels 🍹

[@ChrisSlack]

I was waiting for the garnish.

[@clifflamb4179]

I see you took down the Tiki Justin place upon you shelf. LOL

[@BreezewayCocktailHour]

Hahaha... Actually I think it's still up there. Just might be out of view.

[@clifflamb4179]

LOL!!!! ​@@BreezewayCocktailHour

[@KUSTOM-ms9tj]

Aloha

[@sergisamongas]

Spike, isn't making a cocktails from Las Vegas breaks the cardinal rule? I.e. what happens in LV stays in LV?

[@annettebradley2698]

Love that the new puffer fish is stealing the show

[@lonniep219]

I do the thing!

[@souett]

You had me until vodka. I don’t understand how it’s a tiki drink unless it has rum. But I doesn’t look bad. I’m sure my wife would drink something like that
