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. 

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

Ingredients

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

Here's what you need to make a mudslide:

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

See?

I told you, super simple!

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

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.

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 classic mudslide cocktail.

Step 1: Combine the Liquid

First, start by drizzling your cocktail glasses with chocolate syrup. 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 cocktail 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 on top as a garnish. And if you wish, add some whipped cream and shaved chocolate on top as well.

Finally, serve immediately and enjoy!
