An aside: I chanced upon the name of a play by Mark Twain called A CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL and a CATASTROPHE: Two Acting Charades in which there are three characters, namely, Cat, Ass and Trophy. This chimed with my recent word play. Using the same photos you can use an American accent to produce Cat-Ass-Trophy and a UK RP accent to produce Cat-Arse-Trophy.Next:
To go with the Catastrophe Manifesto, I decided to create some Catastrophe Cocktails.
Scene: Harry’s Bar, post-disaster
Menu: Catastrophe Cocktails
The Divine
The heavenly option recommended for monotheists.
4 parts champagne: 1 part Tequila (Patron Platinum)
Stir and drink served with a fresh, perfectly-formed strawberry.
The Molotov
This is highly recommended for those with aspirations or the desire to act out or stage a coup.
1 part Absinthe: 1 part champagne; a teaspoon of sugar
Place a teaspoon over the glass and drizzle with Absinthe. Set fire to it and drop into the drink. Add champagne until the fire goes out.
Champagne can be replaced by Cava (Brut).
The Quake
The hair-of-the-dog option as it’s a great choice for anyone with the DTs (aka the shakes). It is also recommended for those who don’t have their feet on terra firma.
2 parts Vodka: 1 part lime juice: 1 part cranberry juice: a dash of sugar syrup
In a shaker, two-thirds filled with ice add the above. Shake well. Then strain into a chilled glass.
Greenfingers
Recommended for those with a desire to save the planet - it’s the alcohol-free option. Note: all ingredients are non-GM, organic, environmentally-aware and dolphin-friendly.
2 parts wheatgrass: 1 part Aloe Vera juice; 1 part apple juice
In a blender, blitz all the ingredients and decorate with a zest of orange.
Ashes and Diamonds
The premium choice for currency converters, number crunchers and bond traders; it’s the fiscal alternative. What’s more, every time you take a sip, you off-set your carbon foot print.
1 part Kahlua: 1 part Vodka: 0.5 dark Rum and a dash of Amarula cream
Mix the Kahlua, vodka and rum. Pour cream over the back of a spoon to create a thin, white layer.

You’ve read the books, taken the course, created a manifesto, now buy the T-shirt.

I very much like that you've given the option of replacing the champagne with cava - for anarchists on a budget. Anyone want to offer to create these one evening?
