The Best Worst Drinks: The Mudslide
This week, we are making Thurman's second favourite cocktail of all-time. The Mudslide.
Welcome to a special episode of The Best Worst Drinks – or should we say, The Best Best Drinks. Today, we’re tackling one of Thurman’s favourite cocktails, despite it often turning out more dessert than drink - the Mudslide.
Originally crafted in the 1970s, the Mudslide’s classic combination of vodka, coffee liqueur, and Bailey’s Irish Cream made it a popular guilty pleasure. But when bartenders overdo it with cream or ice cream, it quickly turns into an overly rich boozy milkshake, masquerading as a cocktail.
Thurman’s tips? Dial up the coffee and ditch the cream for a version that’s got depth, texture, and is far from cloying.
Tune in to see why sometimes, less really is more.
