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!

Congratulations on seeing “the light at the end of the tunnel!” I am now very selective regarding cookbooks I add to my collection! But I can assure you – you’re will be on the shelf in full view!
Congratulations Jen!! I can hardly wait for your cookbook to be released!! CHEERS!
Best wishes on your cookbook. I have 3 teen boys that love to eat. Would love your tip(s) on how you stay fit with all your tempting recipes? My sons need calorie rich food, but I don’t.
The Mudslides are great frozen treat too!
Is there anything that can substitute for the Kahlula? Love Bailey’s, but not a coffee fan.
Enjoy your vacation!
Thanks,
June
Hi June, I think you could definitely use rum. And thank you!
Thanks for asking that – I’m the same! I have all three of those ingredients, lol – rum, vodka and Bailey’s. I’ll give it a try.
I was actually wondering about Sambucca replacing the Kahlua – Sambucca and Bailey’s is wonderful together!
Hi Sandra, Sambucca has a very different flavor than Kahlua so it wouldn’t naturally occur to me to use it here. But if you like the combination of Sambucca and Bailey’s, it’s worth a try. Please LMK what you think if you try it!
Congratulations Jen! I for one can hardly wait for it to hit the shelves. I love every recipe that I’ve tried from your site. This drink sounds delicious.
Thank you, Sandi!
