Mudslide

Description

Coffee liqueur brings roast, Irish cream brings caramel and cocoa notes, and double cream makes the texture properly rich. Vodka gives the Mudslide some bite underneath. It sits near the White Russian, with a fuller cream texture and a sweeter, more chocolate-tinged finish.

  • 30 ml Vodka
  • 30 ml Coffee Liqueur
  • 30 ml Irish cream liqueur
  • 30 ml Double cream

Equipment needed

Cocktail Shaker – Used to chill, dilute and integrate the cocktail before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Fine Mesh Strainer – Use for a polished double-strain when citrus, fruit or herbs are shaken.
