Equipment

Instructions

Notes

Substitutes:

  • Vodka: You can use white rum if you're out of vodka. It gives the Mudslide a slightly different, but still delicious, character.
  • Coffee Liqueur: Try using any coffee liqueur or a strong-brewed coffee with some sugar.
  • Irish Cream: If you don't have Irish Cream, you can make a quick substitute with heavy Cream, a splash of whiskey, and a teaspoon of chocolate syrup.

Making a Pitcher of Mudslide:

  • Scale: To make a pitcher serving 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 8 oz of vodka, 8 oz of Coffee liqueur, 8 oz of Irish Cream, and 24 scoops of vanilla ice cream.
  • Blend: In a large blender, combine the vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish Cream, vanilla ice cream and ice. Blend until smooth.
  • Serve: Pour the blended mixture into individually prepared glasses, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.

Making it Non-Alcoholic:

  • Vodka Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic vodka substitute or even water for dilution.
  • Coffee Liqueur Substitute: Opt for strong brewed coffee with a bit of sugar.
  • Irish Cream Substitute: Use a mix of non-alcoholic vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, and heavy Cream.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes and follow the original steps for a non-alcoholic Mudslide.

Making it Vegan:

  • Irish Cream: Use a vegan Irish Cream like Baileys Almande.
  • Whipped Cream: Opt for a dairy-free whipped Cream from coconut or almond milk.
  • Proceed As Usual: Use these vegan substitutes and follow the original steps for a vegan Mudslide.
