The mudslide is a common menu item at chain restaurants, but we prefer to make and enjoy them at home. A frozen mudslide drink is perfect for after dinner or anytime you need to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Frozen Mudslide Ingredients

Your blender does the work for this dreamy delight. For the measurements of the ingredients, see the recipe card below. The recipe can easily be doubled as long as everything will fit in your blender.

  • Vodka: Quality doesn’t matter as much for this recipe because of how rich the other ingredients are.
  • Coffee liqueur: Kahlúa adds a rich flavor.
  • Irish cream: Baileys Irish cream helps to thin the cocktail to blend and adds a delicious flavor profile.
  • Ice cream: If you like a more chocolatey mudslide, try chocolate ice cream.

How to Serve

Serve your frozen mudslide drink in a chilled wine glass. We like to drizzle the wine glass with chocolate syrup prior to adding the blended mixture to add a little extra sweetness and eye appeal. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and chocolate sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately while frozen.

Traditional Frozen Mudslide

A traditional mudslide is a sweet martini. The creamy cocktail flaunts the flavor of the spirits and uses heavy cream instead of ice cream. Everything is shaken together for a frothy and creamy drink rather than blended.
