This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re heading into the shadows with Deep Space Confidential: Caracas Pursuit — a journey through exotic sounds, Cold War intrigue, tiki culture and the glamorous world of the bachelor pad.

We’ll also look at the cocktail that refused to die, revisit the origins of the Moscow–Washington hotline, explore some seriously swanky sounds from around the globe, and finish with a Deep Thought that may have you questioning something you’ve never really thought about before.

So settle in, pour yourself something appropriate, and let’s disappear for a while.
