Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) Chocolate Syrup, for glass drizzling
  • As needed Fresh Chocolate Shavings or Cocoa Powder, for garnish
  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) Vodka, neutral quality
  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) Coffee Liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 2 fl oz (60 ml) Irish Cream Liqueur (e.g., Baileys)
  • 1 fl oz (30 ml) Heavy Cream (Double Cream, optional)
  • 3 cups (approx. 450 g) Cubed Ice

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Glasses: Place the serving glasses (Hurricane, Highball, or Collins) in the freezer for at least 15 minutes prior to assembly. Remove the chilled glasses and drizzle chocolate syrup along the inside walls, allowing it to pool slightly at the bottom.
  2. Combine Liquids: Pour the vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and heavy cream (if using) into a high-speed blender jug. Adding the liquids first helps the blades grab the ice more easily.
  3. Add Ice and Blend: Add the 3 cups of fresh ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid tightly. Start blending on the lowest setting for 5 seconds to break down large chunks, then immediately switch to the highest speed.
  4. Achieve Consistency: Blend continuously for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and resembles a slushie or soft-serve ice cream. If the mixture is too thick, add a tiny splash of milk or cream and blend again.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Carefully divide the thick Mudslide mixture between the two prepared, chilled glasses. Top with fresh chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder and serve immediately.
