Terremoto

Terremoto is a Chilean cocktail made with a combination of local red wine (Pipeño), pineapple ice-cream, grenadine syrup, and (optionally) Fernet-Branc or Pisco. The drink is served in a 1-liter glass. The ice cream is added first, followed by a shot of grenadine, Pipeño, and a splash of Fernet-Branc or Pisco on top.


Terremoto is traditionally served with a long straw that is used for lightly stirring the cocktail. It is believed that Terremoto was invented in 1985 in El Hoyo bar in Santiago. This cocktail is especially popular during the fiestas patrias in Chile.


Drink it too quickly, and it will leave you shaking, hence the cocktail's name which translates to earthquake.
