Episode 150 – Matt Pietrek – The Rum and Cocktail Wonk

This episode features ⁠⁠Matt Pietrek⁠ ⁠The Cocktail Wonk⁠⁠⁠⁠.

It all started about 15 years ago with the love of tiki cocktails. The more that Matt learned the more excited he got. He took his writing experience and turned it into the Cocktail Wonk Blog. For Matt it’s the flavor, the run and the exotic fruits that make the tiki cocktails appealing to him. Beach Bum Berry’s, Sippin’ Safari Book helped all of this to click into place for him. This episode highlights history, rum, tiki and an overall passion for being a Wonk.
