Mudslide
Boozy coffee milkshake
Vodka, coffee liqueur, and Irish cream shaken with cream — basically a dessert cocktail. Rich, smooth, dangerous.
Ingredients
- 1 oz Vodka
- 3/4 oz Coffee Liqueur
- 3/4 oz Irish Cream
- 1 1/2 oz Cream
Method
Shake vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and fresh cream with ice. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
Attributed to the Wreck Bar & Grill at Rum Point Club, Grand Cayman Island, 1970s — bartender created it by using Bailey's Irish Cream in place of missing cream in a White Russian. Per Difford's Guide #1374. Notes: origin story is the Wreck Bar's own account; early experimental versions used vanilla ice cream; recipe stabilized at Rum Point since 1980s. Modern Difford's recipe uses Ketel One vodka and Galliano Espresso coffee liqueur (not Absolut and Kahlúa as sometimes cited).
