A mudslide is a blended, dessert cocktail typically composed of vodka, coffee liqueur (such as Kahla), Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys), and ice cream or milk. Variations exist, with some recipes substituting the ice cream/milk component for heavy cream. The drink is characterized by its smooth, creamy texture and rich, coffee-chocolate flavor profile.
This beverage gained popularity for its indulgent nature, offering a sweet and alcoholic treat often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or during social gatherings. While its precise origins are debated, the mudslide has become a recognized and widely requested cocktail, found on bar menus globally. Its appeal lies in the combination of familiar, comforting flavors and the added kick of alcohol.
