Welcome aboard this week’s Cocktail Nation, where we’re setting sail with Ahoy Cruises, taking a trip into the atomic fantasies of the 1950s, and discovering just how much The Jetsons got right about the future.

We’ll explore Ford’s extraordinary nuclear-powered car concept, enjoy a little lounge life, and ponder the curious business of cleaning a room. Plus, next week I’ll introduce a new segment for 2027, Sinatra Confidential, uncovering the legendary stories behind the Chairman of the Board.

So pour yourself something suitably sophisticated, settle into the lounge, and enjoy the ride.
