Mudslide Drink
My frozen mudslide is a thick and creamy cocktail with rich chocolate and coffee flavors. This boozy adult milkshake is a must-try if you like chocolate.
I love rich and creamy cocktails like Colorado Bulldogs, birthday cake shots, or Pina Coladas. Mudslides are amazing too. This rich chocolate drink was created in the Cayman Islands in the 1970s. Rumor has it a bartender was out of heavy cream when a customer ordered a White Russian so he had to use Irish cream instead. What a yummy substitute!
Half dessert, half drink, 100% delicious. They're perfect for treating yourself after a hot summer day. Bonus: So much cheaper than the $8 version at your local bar or steakhouse.
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Chocolate Vodka: I love the flavor of chocolate vodka, but feel free to use regular or another flavor of your choice.
- Irish Cream: I used Baileys which is made of Irish whiskey with a hint of chocolate in the background. Even though it is cream-based it will keep for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening. homemade Irish cream would be lovely too. Use leftovers in our Irish Coffee or our duck fart shot
- Kahlua: Kahlua is a deep coffee-flavored rum liqueur. Store in a cool dark place such as your liquor cabinet or in a cabinet.
- Creme De Cacao: A chocolate-flavored liqueur that is slightly less sweet than typical chocolate liquor. I like Giffard.
Tips and Tricks
- Keep your glass in the freezer to keep your drink ice cold.
- Garnish: Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate chips, chocolate sprinkles, a cherry, or even oreo cookie crumbs.
- Ice: If serving on the rocks use coffee ice cubes so your drink isn't diluted.
- Strength: With 1 shot of liquor per serving, each drink is equal to about 1 standard drink. This creamy cocktail doesn't taste like alcohol, so as always be sure to enjoy it responsibly.
