Ep. 27 – Terremoto, “I was born in the dirt”

Gina’s in for a nasty surprise, as Paul introduces her to the Terremoto, a classic Chilean drink that packs a punch. While the homemade pineapple ice cream melts the duo get into a bit of Chilean history, a few more haikus and Gina teaches Paul about fancy hats.

Terremoto Recipe:

  • Scoop a healthy amount of pineapple ice cream into a 500ml glass (plastic solo cup for extra authenticity)
  • Fill with Pipeño wine (substitute a sweet white wine)
  • Add about a 1/2 ounce of Fernet Branca
  • A dash of Grenadine (optional)
  • Have another and see if you can still feel your legs
