The Swizzle Roadtrip: Haunted Places.

Somehow, in our exploration of haunted places we managed to manifest meeting Aaron Goodwin which was a very special moment on the trip!

We were THRILLED to be able to visit towns and buildings we knew to be haunted. If you’re a fan of Ghost Adventures, like we are, you may recognize some of these places.

The El Rancho Hotel in Gallup, NM. Famous for being haunted by John Wayne. A cowboy ghost is seen, sometimes on a horse. Many golden age of Hollywood stars stayed here.

The Pioneer Saloon just outside of Las Vegas (also featured in Fall Out the game and the show). Known to be haunted by Carol Lombard (one of my favorite actresses) due to her plane crash near by.

I WAS excited that Goldfield was on our route but that changed to hesitation once we got there. Talk about a town that time forgot. The only people there were in cars going by, the entire town smelled AWFUL (maybe the roaming donkeys were the cause?) and the Church sign made that western movie creeking sound as it swung back and forth. We had some crazy experiences here and if you want the full story, DM me. I hope to never have to go back there.

Tonapah, The Clown Motel and the Miner’s cemetery. There was a fellow GA fan who happened to be driving by and had no idea he would be going past here on his work route. We got to explore together. Marty was over it after Goldfield.

We got to return to the El Rancho at night on our drive back to TX. It was neat to see the signage lit up (and the activity too). 👻

Route 66 is celebrating its 100th year and we got to drive along on our travels to our Pop Up in Las Vegas!

From there we headed north to Reno (we will have another post about the haunted places we visited) and then over to Sacramento and down through California.

On the way back to TX, we stayed in Palm Springs to stay at the Caliente Tropics (it IS a Tiki tour after all) 🗿We also had one night in Albuquerque and happened to be there during the Balloon Fiesta. Unfortunately they only had the opening release that morning and the other was canceled due to weather. It was still an amazing sight!

Featured in these photos: Amarillo, Tucumcari, Santa Fe, Holbrook, Williams, Meteor City, Kingman, Las Vegas, Area 51 Shop, Reno, LA, Palm Springs, and Albuquerque.

We had the absolute pleasure of being treated with the greatest hospitality at the Birds of Paradise Lounge home Tiki Bar in Sacramento!

An absolutely stunning home with the most hospitable owners! The Witco collection is beyond words! The bar build out was incredible! (I wish we would have taken more photos) The attention to detail and extensive collections were exceptional!

It was such a kind welcome to California! We drove from Nevada straight to this incredible sanctuary of tiki and it filled us with awe and inspiration! 😍

Thank you for hosting us, for sharing your incredible collection and space with us and for the delicious cocktails and lumpia! Y’all were so sweet and kind to us and we appreciate you so much! We had a wonderful and memorable time! 🍹

It was an absolute perfect ending to our tour to be with The Mermaid, getting to work with some of our favorite ladies of Tiki!

We also couldn’t believe the amount of Dallas regulars that showed up too! Y’all are the absolute BEST! We were absolutely blown away by the love and support shown from the Dallas and L.A. Ohana and truly HONORED that yall came to see us! The Mermaid gave us the opportunity to make drinks in the hometown of Tiki cocktails and we are so grateful for the opportunity and support! THANK YOU for celebrating the end of the tour with us and making special memories that we certainly won’t forget and we hope you don’t either!🍹❤️

A big MAHALO to everyone who came out to✨Swizzle on Tour✨at Tiki Tom’s last week!

We hope you enjoyed Swizzle’s Tiki Cocktails featuring Pusser's Rum Liquid Alchemist Syrups and Barceló - Ron Dominicano and Jeppson's Malört 🍹

This is what the tour was all about! Getting to work with people we love and getting to share of our cocktails with people we love. Thank you to all of our friends and family for coming out to support us, enjoy our cocktails and spending time in our other home away from home tiki bar! I don’t know what the experience of walking into Swizzle was like for other people, but when I walk into Tiki Tom’s I see and feel what I think people felt at Swizzle. The thoughtfulness of decor and the personal stories attached to each display are so wonderful. Between that and the amazing staff, we have always felt at home here. It was amazing to step behind the bar and share the love of tiki with y’all! Thank you!

A big MAHALO to everyone who came out to✨Swizzle on Tour✨at Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge last week!

We hope you enjoyed Swizzle’s Tiki Cocktails featuring Pusser's Rum Liquid Alchemist Syrups and Barceló - Ron Dominicano and Jeppson's Malört 🍹

This was a dream come true for us! Forbidden Island has always been my home away from home tiki bar. I even have a tattoo of their mug. It was the first place I ever did burlesque and I always made it a meeting spot with friends and fam before and even after I moved to TX. Being able to share our craft with our friends and family in this very special place was an incredible experience. When Swizzle closed, Michael was the first person to offer a place to pop up. We got to meet the welcoming and kind East Bay Ohana, see family and friends and make new ones on both sides of the bar. Thank y’all for making this dream a reality!

We here at Swizzle are incredibly grateful to work with such awesome reps and awesome companies! A HUGE MAHALO to Liquid Alchemist Syrups for being such an important part of our cocktail and mocktail menu for our tour of the West!

It was a great hit in our, “PSL,” (Liquid Alchemist Prickly Pear, Liquid Alchemist Spicy and Lemon Juice). Greg from Tiki Ti said it was very Texas of us to have a spicy cocktail on our menu. He is not wrong!

Thank you Scott Krinsky for helping us make the dream come true and for giving us the tools to bring our Texas flavors to life on the road!
