Frozen friday

A drink not the movie. And not the weather either. Thank god!!

Who doesn’t love a cold refreshing frozen cocktail on a hot summer day?  This weeks drink is the mudslide.  We drank one (2-3?) of these everyday in Mexico last year while we were lounging on the beach or poolside.  The standard mudslide has vodka, kahlua (coffee liqueur), baileys (irish cream), ice, and some cream or milk or even ice cream.  I’m calling my drink a Mexican mudslide because I used the tequila version of Kahlua and baileys.  Kahlua being made with rum and irish cream being made with whiskey.  Patron XO café is coffee liqueur made with tequila and tequila crema 1921 is just what it says.  Now the internet is telling me that a Mexican mudslide is Kahlua, amaretto, and cream or ice cream and a dash of cinnamon.  I prefer my version (and i’m not a narcissist) because

1. Mexico=tequila!

2. I love tequila!!!

I also tried this drink with tequila instead of vodka just to go all out with my tequila love and I will admit that I kind of prefer the vodka version.

Mexican mudslide 

1 oz vodka

1 oz patron xo cafe

1oz 1921 tequila crème

1/2 cup almond milk

chocolate syrup

Combine first 4 ingredients with ice in a blender.  You can add a swirl of chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass before filling the glass with the mudslide.  It creates a nice look visually and adds some chocolate to your drink.

  1. Cool site, my personal favorite drink is the mudslide drink. I swear, NO bartender in the eastern united states knows how to make a proper one.
