While commonly thought of as a boozy milkshake, this recipe flaunts the flavor of the spirits and is sure to be your new guilty pleasure.
The Mudslide has become a classic and originates back in the 1970s. The story goes that a customer ordered a White Russian, but the bartender adjusted the recipe to include what ingredients he had on hand, including Irish Cream. The Mudslide was born and became an instant hit.
