Talking Cocktail Theory and Harmonic Spirits (ft. Dr. Kevin Peterson)

Show notes

Hey friends - today's episode sharing what's new, what's next and what matters in Metro Detroit is in two parts.

During the first few minutes, we update you on stories around town: a Jeep recall due to fire hazards; possible changes to where you'll watch the Detroit Tigers next year; two new third spaces coming to Wyandotte; and three candidates for Royal Oak City Manager.

Then, a conversation with Dr. Kevin Peterson. He's a brilliant part of the hospitality and drinks world. Kevin has a book out, "Cocktail Theory: A Sensory Approach To Transcendent Drinks." You can get the book here: https://sfumatofragrances.com/products/cocktail-theory.

He brings a scientific approach to making the best tasting drinks possible. Plus, there's a new line of ready to pour cocktails for higher-volume places called Harmonic Spirits that we talk about.
