Cocktail Nation

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading into deep space with a mysterious encounter that left one man questioning everything he knew. We’ll uncover a Cold War spy story from the atomic age, open the pages of Lounge Life Magazine for Hollywood romance and retro design, and explore why the vinyl revival continues to keep the music alive. Plus, tiki sounds, beach vibes, and all the sophistication you’ve come to expect from the world of Cocktail Nation.

So pour yourself a drink, settle into your favourite chair, and join us for another journey into the lounge lifestyle. This is Cocktail Nation.

Wellsy takes us back to the story of Gidget, while we explore lost islands and tropical sounds with a soundtrack made for cocktails under the palm trees.

In Lounge Life Magazine, we’ll discover what grocery shopping looked like in the 1960s, and the surprising story behind a famous Marilyn Monroe photoshoot.
