Legend has it that the famous mudslide cocktail was created at the Wreck Bar, a popular bar and restaurant located in the picturesque Cayman Islands. The recipe for this delicious cocktail is super simple: one part coffee liqueur, one part vodka, and one part Irish cream. It is typically served over ice and enjoyed as a dessert drink due to its sweet and creamy flavor. Although it goes down easy, this cocktail packs a punch. It’s worth noting that there is no virgin mudslide—take away the booze and all that remains is ice!

  • Can’t believe this drink doesn’t have more comments. We usually have this around Christmas but, having some now instead of ice cream!

  • This is what we call “the adult milkshake”. We’ve been making this for the last 30 years – my wonderful husband always does one for me every time I have hot, relaxing bath! It’s a fabulous drink!

  • I haven’t had one of these in years – it was SO GOOD! I guess I’ll have to make them more often.

  • This is a good one. I’ve always enjoyed a mudslide when out, but I never knew how to replicate one at home. They often do a chocolate sauce swirl in the glass before filling it. I will try it that way. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

  • I have not made this, but I love your cookbook and especially the emails. I have been to the Caymans and I would love the recipe for their Cayman lemonade. I have searched (the Internet), but have never located anything close. Thank you for all that you do!

    • Hi Laura, Thanks for purchasing the cookbook and hope you have lots of new favorites in it! I’ve never heard of Cayman Lemonade. I’ll have to add it to my list of recipes to potentially develop. Thanks for the suggestion!

  • “There is no virgin mudslide; take away the booze and the only thing you’re left with is ice.” From a person that doesn’t drink, I found this statement HILARIOUS. Well said Jenn!

  • A perfect combination in just the right proportions. Not too strong as is often the case with these types of drinks and was the perfect after dinner drink for your chicken fajita recipe.

  • I love mudslides. My very kind husband used to make them for me when I would go out to our hot tub when we lived in San Francisco- now that we live in England, it’s when I go up for a hot bath. I’ve told so many people here the recipe but i think they think I’m making it up. I am so thrilled you’ve posted this in your blog, I can now share and they will know it’s legit! Thanks!!!

  • Oh YES!! After a long day this so refreshingly delicious… cheers
