Where the backbeats meet the spirits.  Spirit/drinks award-winning author, educator & historian aka "The Cocktail Wonk", Matt Pietrek shares how we went down the rabbit hole on rum and cocktail word after a career in the tech world. With the help of an inquisitive mind, Matt digs deep into learning about the history of where some of the most popular cocktails were derived such as the Mai Tai. We also talk about his website which has a lot of great information about the spirit and cocktail world.
