ABOUT THE MUDSLIDE

This Mudslide is creamy and tasty. When you think of Mudslides, you might think of frozen drinks covered in chocolate syrup. This version, made without ice cream, is a classic Mudslide (and both are delicious).

Just like its Frozen Mudslide cousin, you can make this cocktail look even more inviting by sprinkling a whole lot of chocolate flakes on top.

Estimated ABV = 16% (Kahlúa Original 16%) Estimated ABV = 17% (Kahlúa Original 20%). The exact value depends on how you mix, which measures you use and even your glass!
