The Mudslide is an indulgent, dessert-style cocktail that brings together vodka, coffee liqueur and Irish cream. Made with MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted from 100% Kenyan Arabica coffee, it gains a deeper roasted coffee character beneath its rich, velvety texture, with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.

HOW TO MAKE A Mudslide

  • Ice being added to a cocktail shaker for a Mudslide

    STEP 1 - Fill a cocktail shaker with ice

    Fill a cocktail shaker with plenty of fresh ice. A well-filled shaker chills the cocktail quickly and helps create the smooth, velvety texture a great Mudslide is known for.

  • Vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur being poured into a cocktail shaker

    STEP 2 - Add the vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur

    Pour in the vodka and MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted with premium Kenyan Arabica coffee. Together they give the Mudslide its backbone of clean spirit and deep roasted coffee, with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.

  • Irish cream and double cream being poured into a cocktail shaker

    STEP 3 - Add the Irish cream and double cream

    Add the Irish cream liqueur and double cream. The cream brings a rich, silky body, while the Irish cream adds soft vanilla and cocoa notes that sit beautifully alongside the coffee.

  • Cocktail shaker being shaken to make a Mudslide

    STEP 4 - Shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds

    Seal the shaker and shake hard for around 10–15 seconds. Shaking chills the drink and whips the cream and liqueurs together into a smooth, luxurious texture.

  • Mudslide served over ice and garnished with grated dark chocolate

    STEP 5 - Strain, garnish & serve

    Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Finish with a little freshly grated dark chocolate over the top, adding a bittersweet aroma that complements the rich coffee, cream and caramel notes in the cocktail.

ABOUT the Mudslide

A glass of Coffee Old Fashioned garnished with a lemon twist, and a bottle of Mibebee coffee liqueur on a concrete ledge with a textured wall background.

The Mudslide is a creamy, indulgent cousin of the White Russian, and one of the world's best-loved dessert cocktails.

The History of the Mudslide

The Mudslide is said to have been created in the 1970s at the Wreck Bar on Rum Point in Grand Cayman, when a guest asked for a White Russian and the bartender reached for Irish cream instead. The result was so popular it spread far beyond the Caribbean, becoming a favourite on dessert menus around the world. Balancing vodka with coffee liqueur and Irish cream, it delivers a smooth, decadent drink with real depth. With MiBebee Coffee Liqueur, crafted from premium Kenyan Arabica coffee, this classic gains a richer roasted coffee flavour with layers of dark chocolate and caramel.
