Mudslide Cocktail
The Mudslide is a decadent, creamy cocktail that combines the rich flavors of coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and vodka. Perfect as an after-dinner indulgence or a sweet treat on a warm day, it can be served on the rocks, blended, or straight up.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring tool
- Strainer
- Chilled glass (martini glass or old-fashioned glass)
Ingredients
- 1 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Coffee Liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 oz Irish Cream (e.g., Baileys)
- 1 oz Heavy Cream optional, for a richer drink
- Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Fill a shaker with ice cubes.
- Add the vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and heavy cream (if using) to the shaker.
- Shake well until the mixture is chilled.
- Strain into a chilled glass filled with ice cubes for an on-the-rocks version, or into a martini glass for a straight-up version.
- If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of grated chocolate or a chocolate swirl.
Notes
For a frozen Mudslide, blend the ingredients with ice until smooth and serve in a chilled glass. Whipped cream and chocolate syrup are popular garnishes for this version.
