What is a Frozen Mudslide Drink?

A frozen mudslide drink is a combination of vanilla vodka, whipped cream vodka, Irish cream, Kahlua, vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. The resulting drink tastes like a coffee infused ice cream sundae. It’s sort of like a frozen chocolate mocha milkshake.

Vodka itself is a clear liquor that is made from stealing fermented grains or even sometimes potatoes. Non-flavored versions of vodka tend to be neutral and almost tasteless. However, vodka does come in a wide variety of different flavors.

Vanilla vodka and whipped cream vodka are both flavored vodkas. Vanilla vodka has a sweet and smooth vanilla flavor. Whipped cream vodka also has the vanilla flavoring as well as cream flavor.

Kahlua is a coffee flavored liqueur. It originated in Mexico and is made from a combination of rum, arabica coffee and sugar. The resulting liqueur has a sweet, smooth coffee flavor.

Irish cream is a liqueur which is made from Irish whiskey, cream and cocoa. It has a very sweet and creamy flavor with strong notes of vanilla and chocolate.

Any type of vanilla ice cream can be used in this drink. However, if you want a really extra creamy delicious cocktail try a high quality vanilla ice cream with vanilla beans in it.

How many calories are in a frozen mudslide?

There anywhere from 550 to 650 calories in a frozen mudslide. When I calculated the calories for the exact ingredients and brands we used it clocked in at 605 calories.

Generally, 1 oz of flavor vodka has around 70 calories. Additionally, Kahlua has around 80 calories per ounce. Irish cream clocks in at around 110 calories per ounce. Three scoops of ice cream, which is about a cup, will be around 280 calories. Then, don’t forget to add the calories for the whipped cream and chocolate syrup garnish.

Occasions for this drink

This decadent dessert drink is perfect for a variety of different occasions such as:

  • after dinner dessert
  • Drinks with lunch
  • informal get together
  • hot summer days

Drink variations

There are a few ways you can change this drink up including:

  • Make it strawberry. Instead of a regular frozen mudslide drink, add in strawberries, strawberry ice cream or strawberry vodka to make it a strawberry frozen mudslide.
  • Change up the vodka. We used vanilla and whipped cream vodka to sweeten up the flavor of this drink. However, you can use just one or the other or even just plain vodka.
  • add ice. You can substitute in some ice in place of the ice cream. This will still make a chunky frozen drink but with slightly less calories and a little less creamy.

Some similar cocktails are: the mudslide cocktail, a peanut butter whiskey milkshake, the Frozen Brandy Alexander and the Ultimate Dirty Monkey drink.

Step Eight

Next, you’ll need to blend everything together. If you have a smoothie setting using that for 20 to 30 seconds we usually do it. You want to make sure everything is mixed well about the consistency of a milkshake.

Step Nine

Stop your blender and go ahead and pour your drink from your blender into your hurricane glass. Try to pour in the center of the glass so that you don’t mess up your chocolate syrup garnish.

Grab your whipped cream and add a large dollop to the top of your glass. Enjoy!
