Make a Frozen Mudslide
This frozen variation of the mudslide cocktail is easy to make and refreshing to drink. It's a popular (and expensive) drink at a chain restaurant, but with these instructions, you won't have to go out in order to enjoy one.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce (28 grams or 30 mL) of your favorite vodka
- 1/2 ounce (17 grams or 15 mL) Kahlua
- 1/2 ounce (15 grams or 15 mL) Bailey's Irish Cream
- 1 cup (237 mL) milk
- 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 mL) French Vanilla coffee creamer
- Ice cubes
- note: this is a revamped version. The real version includes vanilla ice-cream.
Steps
- Add 1oz (28g) of your favorite vodka, 1/2oz (17g) of Kahlua, and 1/2 oz (15g) of Bailey's Irish Cream to a blender. You can increase or decrease these portions to taste. If you're missing any one ingredient, increase the portions of the others. It won't really be a Mudslide anymore, but who cares, as long as it tastes good?!
- Add about 1 cup (237ml) of milk to the blender.
- Add 2-3 Tbsp of a French Vanilla Coffee Creamer. This helps make it kicking delicious.
- Add enough ice so that it rises about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the liquid.
- Blend until smooth. If the blender gets "stuck," try pulsing for a few seconds, or remove the jug from the base and give it a good swirl.
- Garnish your glasses by pouring some chocolate syrup down the sides either straight, to swirly. Be artistic, and remember: Presentation is everything!
- Pour the mixture into the glass.
- Finished.
Tips
- An Alternate way to make this delicious concoction is to skip the milk completely and do 4 oz. of Vanilla (or Raspberry) vodka, 4 oz. Kahlua, and 4 oz of Bailey's, and ice. This makes 3-4 killer drinks and you only need one or two each.
- Never be afraid to use a lot of ice. For those beautifully thick icy drinks, allow the amount of ice to come about one inch above the liquid.
- A little squirt of chocolate syrup or sauce in the blender adds a nice touch as well.
- Add your liquid ingredients to the blender before you add your ice.
- Frozen mudslides are a great way to make use of freezer-burned ice cream.
- Top with an Oreo cookie to give it that something extra.
- If you cannot find the French Vanilla Coffee Whitener, try another coffee flavoring source, such as a syrup.
- Alternatively, try strawberry syrup instead of chocolate. Experiment and have fun!
- Speed of the blender really isn't that important.
- This great drink is enjoyed best with great friends.
