🗝️ Key takeaways

  • Creamy and sweet without the heavy alcohol burn
  • A mudslide is a dessert cocktail that's perfect for a romantic dinner, Valentine's Day, or cuddling by the fire
  • The s'mores syrup takes it over the top

S'mores mudslide cocktail is the ultimate, creamy-dreamy girlie drink. It tastes like you snuck away from the Girl Scout bonfire and dipped your s'mores into some hooch that your best friend snuck into camp. I'm serious!

It's a delightfully innocent childhood flavor with just enough bad to be good.

You'll want to try this spiked hot chocolate, too.

How to make a mudslide

A basic mudslide cocktail always contains the following:

  • vodka
  • coffee liqueur
  • Irish cream liqueur
  • heavy cream
  • chocolate syrup

From there this mudslide recipe is open to your own imagination and favorite flavors!

I am partial to Kahlua and Baileys Irish cream liqueur but use your own favorite brands.

You'll just add the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice, shake vigorously, and strain into a martini or on the rocks glass that's had a drizzle of chocolate syrup added to the inside of the glass.

And, while some people consider this delicous cocktail and after-dinner drink I will happily sip on it any time of any day. It's just that delicious.

If you like a cocktail with a creamy texture like a white Russian you'll likely love this!

🍴 Equipment

  • cocktail shaker
  • on the rocks glasses
  • jigger for measuring

📖 Variations

  • Use a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of heavy cream to make this into a frozen mudslide drink recipe.
  • Chocolate or coffee ice cream work, too.
  • If you prefer your drinks on the rocks leave the ice out of the shaker and just add it to the glass.
  • Any type of Irish cream or coffee liqueur can be used

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: If you don't have a cocktail shaker use a jar with a twist on lid.

  • There are all kind of flavored vodkas you can experiment with.
  • Keep vodka in the freezer for the best vodka cocktails ever.
  • Dust the top if the drink with a little cocoa or grated chocolate.
  • Use ice cubes in the shaker. Smaller ice pieces such as crushed ice or "Sonic" ice will melt down quicker and dilute your cocktail.

📞 The last word

It's no secret to anyone that I like girlie drinks. Anything creamy, or fruity, or chocolaty is guaranteed to make me smile.

I can't tell you when I had my first mudslide but I can tell you that I immediately fell in love with it. Chocolate, cream, and coffee?

Yum.

Over the years I got a little creative with the mudslide cocktail. I'd add creme de menthe or chocolate ice cream... once I even blended a Snickers bar up in it. Even with all of the variations I made from frozen mudslides to white chocolate mudslides I never made one that tasted better than this.

The S'mores flavored coffee syrup really gives it that smoky-sweet campfire flavor. Every time you take a sip some of the marshmallow and some of the ground bittersweet chocolate stick to your lips giving you the complete experience. And, if you drink enough of these you might find yourself sitting next on the patio, a Bic lighter in hand, singing Kumbaya.

They're the type of drink that can sneak up on you.

  • 1 tablespoon bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 4 mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Chop the chocolate chips very fine.
  • Spread a thin line of marshmallow fluff around the edge of a chilled glass.

Want It Warm?

  • Heat the heavy cream and syrup in the microwave until simmering.
  • Add the alcohol and stir well.
  • Let the marshmallows melt on top.
