Hey folks,It's that time of year when all the goblins and ghosts come out to play. I hope you are all staying safe and enjoy this fall season.On today's show, we will be talking about the La Paloma Cocktail. This cocktail is normally made with Tequila (oh, Mark mentions don't eat the worm...yuck)!!! You can also make it with Mezcal which is not tequila technically. We will get into the details about that on the show. Also, we suggest trying Casamigos tequila that is George Clooney's brand. It's very smooth!!!This is not a tiki drink per say and we go into what exactly makes a tiki drink??? Just like a tiki cocktail, it has a lot of people claiming they created this refreshing cocktail. We break down two of them thanks to the assistance of Paola. You know me and Spanish…yeah exactly!!! Oh by the way, did you know how to make the proper Cuba Libre cocktail...listen to make sure!!!We also go through some cool facts about the celebration of the "Day of the Dead". Did you know people will sleep at their loved ones' graves to pay their respects to them? By the way, please check out last year's show on Day of the Dead as we went through other facts about this event. On "Did you Know?" segment: we go through the other holiday celebrated around this time which is Halloween or All Hallow's Eve. I know this year with COVID it will put a dampener on this fun evening but have some fun with it and make yourself a few cocktails.For the recipes to this show: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/recipes/YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alK5hu1moVkLast year's DOD show can be found in our episode page: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/episodes/
