FAQ

Are there different ways to make a mudslide?

There are many variations of this drink, including substituting ice cream for the cream, truly making it like a milkshake. The classic recipe calls for adding vodka. Swirling chocolate syrup inside the glass or directly into the blender while mixing is another option and adding whipped cream and a cherry on top.
However, my recipe omits the vodka. And I like to serve it in a rocks glass with a little whipped cream on top and a dusting of chocolate.

What does a mudslide taste like?

A mudslide tastes pretty similar to a chocolate milkshake, especially if you include the optional ice cream. Some people even like to put extra cocoa powder in the milk to give it an additional chocolate kick. 

Personally, I like it with just a touch of chocolate, but you can decide what you prefer. This easy summer cocktail is simple to make and endlessly customizable.
