The Chairman’s Chocolate Secret

This week on Cocktail Nation, we’re opening the confidential files on Frank Sinatra with the debut of a brand-new segment, Sinatra Confidential. Discover the extraordinary story of the Chairman of the Board, Italian chocolates, and the one thing he simply refused to do, no matter how much money was involved.

We’ll also uncover the remarkable Cold War secret hidden inside a wooden carving of the Great Seal of the United States, share a little Deep Thought, offer some Swank Advice, and explore the latest from Lounge Life Magazine.

Plus, there’s news from the Martini Kings, a look at the world of swank entertainment, and plenty of beautiful music to keep you company.

So pour yourself something suitably sophisticated, settle into your favourite chair, and join me for another evening of cool music, curious stories and the finer things in life.

This is Cocktail Nation with Koop Kooper.
