Today we chat with mixologist, Mark Hooper. I first met Mark at Tiki Kon in Portland, Oregon as a competitor in this year's Iron Tikitender challenge. Among several topics, we chat about what his strategy and experience was like for this competition as well as the tiki bar he is opening in the near future.
