Loading ...In the comments section of the most recent post, I revealed I was having a little problem with tornadoes. We survived the tornadoes just fine, but R the P and Mojo have pointed out that I’m a disaster maven. I can’t deny it. Tornadoes in November? Only if I’m here. Biggest hurricane season in the gulf ever? Only if I’m living there.
Mojo was kind enough to submit a recipe in my honour, and I liked it so much, I felt it was worth repeating in a post. Here is Mojo’s recipe in full. Thank you Mojo.
The Disastertini can be made in your own home using the following recipe:0.5 mL deodorized laudanum
1 oz. Pernod Fils (or other absinthe)
4 oz. Bombay Sapphire GinFirst add the laudanum to the glass and swirl to coat the inside. The laudanum has two important effects: (1) In a disaster you will need something to control the diarrhea and general malaise (2) You will want something to help you not give a damn that there is a disaster. The laudanum achieves both.
Next obtain a shaker and add ice because in a disaster, this will likely be the last ice you see for some time. Pour the absinthe over the ice. I suggest Pernod Fils because you may as well get the good stuff; again, that’s because you’re unlikely to see this treat around for a while. Given that this is a disastertini, you may as well just steal (or “loot”
the Pernod.
Next, add the gin to the shaker. I suggested the Bombay Sapphire for the same reason as the Pernod. Again, steal it if need be. It’s a disaster after all, so a little looting is expected.Shake the two liquors and ice together and strain gently into martini glass so as not to disturb the laudanum. Imbibe and enjoy. It may be your last… but you can always steal more.
Buy me a beer!

Glad you enjoyed it, Che. I can see the ads now:
“Che’s Disastertini”
Enjoy without moderation. It’s a disaster people. You may not see another sunrise! Live it up!
And our readers love recipes! It’ll be a hit!
Thousands of hits, even…
Yum, yum, get me some!! Nice one Mojo! Any idea on the lethal dose on this one?
And Che.. It’s probably Pluto on chase for the Moon that’s stirring tornados now. Don’t blame yourself on this one… Mmm… Well it wasn’t too big was it? Takes more then a planet/wandering spaceobject/?.. a plutonic body to stir up real trouble!!
Woof!
Bas, if there is a simple disaster, I think you would be fine with maybe 2… if you can find some stale crackers to eat with it.
In a major disaster, your limit will depend upon whether or not you are likely to see tomorrow. If the Yosemite caldera blows, I’m having as many as I can, as quickly as I can.
Not sure about the Pluto thing, but if it ever comes swinging around towards earth, that will be a disaster and you will have to break out the Disastertini! Have as many as you like… We’ll all be vaporized soon, anyway!
I’m putting in a request for a Disasterita, for disasters south of the border, and for that mega-tsunami that is destined to one day hit the east coast of the US, how about a ‘Disaster on the Beach’? A ‘Disaster Sunrise’ for the when the sun goes nova, perhaps? A Disastimosa for those breakfast disasters. A Bloody Disastary for mass murders and such.
If it is just some minor disaster, can you make a teeny disasterini?
Disasterita Armageddon? Nice heady pint of the stuff that promises death before you hit the bottom?
The Disasterini was an unqualified success! But blog readers are a fickle, demanding sort. Something new, they demand! Entertain us with your wit! Regale us with your stories! Let us know that we aren’t sad, pathetic bastards living vicariously off your life instead of going out and creating one of our own!
We demand to be fed! Our thirst for your knowledge knows no satiation! Feed us!
In other words, there’s been precious few new posts in the last couple of days.
Living vicariously off my life? Well I suppose vicarious homelessness is more fun that the real kind.
Well I see R the P is cracking the blog-whip. So I reckon I better git ta bloggin’.
That’s right, Che — Git ‘er dunn!!!!
Oh!!! BLOGRIOT!!!! Am i late?!
Darn… She’s posted a new one already…
He, he.. It does show how Disaterinis can lead to blogaholism though.
B, blogaholic.
Blogaholism! I love it!
Bas is the official blog coiner of words. He is the blog coiner in this blog corner!
True treasuretrove my friend
The mintest coiner in the blogosphere.
But to coiner a phrase…
Drinks anyone? I’m dying!
Bringing us back to the Disasterini.. or.. any others of those on offer? Mojo?
