The Best Mudslide Recipe

This classic mudslide recipe is a joy to the senses; the smell of the sweet chocolate syrup, the touch of the ice-cold cocktail glass, the aesthetically pleasing presentation, and of course, the delicious flavor of each sip of this dessert cocktail leave you so, so satisfied.

Also, along with being delicious, this is the perfect drink to serve at a small gathering with friends or family. It's so simple that you can make and serve them all night, or you can leave the ingredients on the bar for anyone to make their own. 

Honestly, every time I host, I like to have a small activity for my guests to do. And a make-your-own cocktail always knocks it out of the park! Just leave a small sign on the bar with the directions, and voila! You have a unique experience for your guests to talk about after the party. 

And if you want to elevate your dessert offering, just serve these drinks with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, and everyone will be in heaven.

By the way, if you want to offer another drink to counter the dessert cocktail, this pink lemonade vodka dink and spicy margarita are great to put out with the mudslide! 

Ingredients

Ok, so like I said before, this recipe is super simple to make, and it only takes a few ingredients. If you have a bar at home, you probably already have a few of them.

Here's what you need to make a classic mudslide:

• 1 oz. Vodka
• 1 oz. Coffee Liqueur
• 2 oz. Irish Cream Liqueur
• Ice
• Chocolate shavings and chocolate syrup to serve

See? I told you, super simple!

Honestly, it's pretty amazing how delicious of a drink these ingredients create.

Oh, and you can use chocolate syrup to make this Starbucks cafe mocha. So next time you need a pick-me-up in the morning with a chocolate drizzle, give that recipe try.

Diving Into The Ingredients

So since there are only a few ingredients in this recipe, there's not much to substitute.

However, if you want to know the specifics, I suggest using Baileys Irish Cream. It's a popular Irish cream, and with good reason. It has such decadent and rich cream, and it makes the best dessert cocktail.

With that said, if you want to cut the alcohol content a little, you can substitute the Irish cream with heavy cream or your choice of milk. Obviously, the milk would make the concoction a little on the watery side, but it's still a great sipping experience.

As for the vodka, you can also use flavored dessert vodkas - like cake or espresso flavor - to add more depth of flavor to your mudslide cocktail.

And, of course, you can turn these into an ultimate dessert drink by adding some whipped cream on top. Whipped cream also adds some additional sweetness to make this one sweet treat.

Or, you can put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a bowl or glass and pour the mudslide on top. Pairing vanilla ice cream with the mudslide makes it like a boozy root beer float.

Oh, and for the chocolate sauce, you can also use melted chocolate instead! Either one works great to give this drink its iconic chocolatey flavor with the chocolate drizzle.

Anyway, now it's time to grab your cocktail shaker and get shaking!

How to Make a Mudslide

So, let's not waste any more time and dive into how to make a mudslide drink.

Step 1: Combine the Liquid

First, drizzle chocolate syrup inside your cocktail glasses. This is really what takes the mudslide drink to the next level of deliciousness.

Next, you're going to add vodka, coffee liqueur, and Irish cream to a shaker. Then, add the ice and shake to combine everything until the shaker is very cold.

Step 2: Serve

Now that the drink is mixed pour the cold cocktail mixture into the chocolate drizzled cocktail glasses.

Then, you can drizzle some more chocolate sauce on top as a garnish. And if you wish, add some whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top as well, or serve in a bowl or glass with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

Finally, serve immediately and enjoy!
