La Piragua recipe:

- 1 cup fruit

- 1 cup sugar

- 1 cup water

- Silver rum of choice

Make the syrup (w/ the whole fruit):

Remove fruit peel, seeds, and dice into smaller chunks. Combine fruit, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Cook until sugar is fully dissolved and fruit has softened (~10 min). Remove from heat and let cool completely. Add mixture to blender and puree until smooth.

Make the syrup (w/ just the fruit juice):

Combine juice and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil over medium heat. Add peels and cook until mixture has reduced to a thick syrup, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Make the piragua:

Combine the syrup and rum in a 2:1 ratio. Using a blender, food processor, or shaved ice machine, crush the ice until it is a fine, powdery texture. With a wooden spoon, scoop the shaved ice into a small bowl or margarita glass. Pour enough syrup over top to saturate the ice.

Ms. Trunchbull’s Hammered Throw:

- chocolate cake*

- 1 cup vodka

- 1 cup cold whole milk

- 1 (3.8 oz) package of chocolate pudding mix

- 1 (8 oz) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed

Combine vodka, milk, and pudding mix in a large bowl and whisk till smooth. Fold in whipped topping until it is smooth. Highly recommend dividing the mixture up into smaller containers/bowls to set in the freezer for a couple of hours. The vodka is potent in this recipe so feel free to cut down and use more milk (e.g. 0.5 cup vodka, 1.5 cups milk).

Alternate a layer of cake then pudding in a pint glass until full. Spoons are recommended.

*Store bought cake is fine but recommend no icing as the pudding will be sweet enough. If baking the cake yourself, add some baileys to the wet ingredients for flavor.

Cobbler Cocktail Recipe:

-1 lb Fresh fruit of choice

-2 oz Fresh lemon juice

-1/3 c Sugar (can be granulated white or brown)

-Spices to taste: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cardamom, ginger

-2 oz Brandy

-Graham crackers for rim

Recommended fruits: peach, apple, blueberry, strawberry, cherry, blackberry

In a bowl, toss the fruit in the sugar, lemon juice, and spices. Add a splash of water to a medium skillet. Transfer fruit mixture to skillet and bring to a low boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until fruit is softened and has released its juices (7-10 min). Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove fruit back to the mixing bowl, leaving the juice in the saucepan.

While juice cools, prepare graham cracker crumb rim on cocktail glass (recommend tumbler or martini). Once juice is warm to lukewarm, add brandy and stir to fully mix. Recommend juice to brandy ratio of 2:1. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of cooked fruit to the bottom of the glass. Strain drink mixture into glass. Enjoy warm and maybe with a side of ice cream!

(Chef’s note: If you’d like to enjoy the drink as a cordial to sip, continue cooking the juice in the saucepan after you remove the fruit for 2-3 minutes until it reduces to a syrupy consistency. This creates a rich liqueur quite reminiscent of a pie filling!)

Hey listeners! Campbell and I had several more thoughts on Annie that we just had to share. Here's a quick peek at our thoughts on the overall tone of this version versus the 1982 film, turnaround time on internet meme production, and how we would go about kidnapping Annie if we were the fake parents (hint: our way is better).
