Inspired by Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut – Chapter 12 – a bartender at the Cape Cod Room made a drink the day the A-Bomb was dropped for a homeless man who believed it was the end of the world. The drink was written as the following: ‘I gave him about a half-pint of creme de menthe in a hollowed-out pineapple, with whipped cream and a cherry on top’.
