The classic mudslide inspires this over-the-top drink—a loving nod to the boozy shakes on some of our favorite American chain restaurant menus. Adapting this drink from the shaker to the blender is as easy as it is delicious: Simply blend vanilla ice cream with Bailey’s, coffee liqueur, and vodka. Be sure to drizzle the chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass before adding the shake; it looks fantastic from the outside and mimics the original cocktail. Serve this shake as a decadent dessert cocktail on a hot summer night or anytime you crave a boozy frozen treat.
What is in a mudslide?
A mudslide cocktail usually calls for coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua), Bailey’s Irish cream, vodka, and heavy cream. This milkshake version swaps the cream for vanilla ice cream.
What glass is best for serving a milkshake?
A tall, clear glass is perfect for any milkshake, but especially for this mudslide as it lets you see the chocolate drips on the inside. Try chilling the glasses in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour before serving so the drink stays cold a little longer.
How much alcohol is in a mudslide?
The ice cream and chocolate might make this delicious drink seem more innocent than it is. Since a serving includes vodka, coffee liqueur, and Bailey’s (made with Irish whiskey), however, it can pack a boozy punch. For less alcohol, leave out the vodka or use chilled brewed coffee instead of the coffee liqueur.
