What’s a Mudslide?​

The Mudslide cocktail is a dessert cocktail made with Kahlua and Irish cream that’s a variation on the White Russian. It was invented in the mid-1970’s on Grand Cayman Island at a bar called Wreck Bar. The story goes that a customer ordered a White Russian, but the bar didn’t have heavy cream. They did happen to be stocked with Irish cream, so they used that instead and the Mudslide was born! This drink later evolved to be blended with ice cream and became popular at chain restaurants, where it’s more like a boozy milkshake. This style of the cocktail is referred to as a “frozen Mudslide.”

What are the ingredients in the classic Mudslide drink? How to make the frozen variation? Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Vodka
  • Coffee liqueur
  • Irish cream
  • Heavy cream (classic) or vanilla ice cream and ice (frozen)
Mudslide recipe, Mudslide drink

Of course, as homemade cocktail connoisseurs we are partial to the classic Mudslide! But if you want to make a frozen Mudslide (aka boozy milkshake), we probably can’t stop you. Here’s what you’ll need to do for each variation:
  • Classic Mudslide: Place vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker. Shake until cold, then strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with shaved chocolate.
  • Frozen Mudslide: Place vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, vanilla ice cream, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a glass. Go 1990’s style and decorate the inside of your glass with chocolate syrup.
