Legend has it that the famous mudslide cocktail was created at the Wreck Bar, a popular bar and restaurant located in the picturesque Cayman Islands. The recipe for this delicious cocktail is super simple: one part coffee liqueur, one part vodka, and one part Irish cream. It is typically served over ice and enjoyed as a dessert drink due to its sweet and creamy flavor. Although it goes down easy, this cocktail packs a punch. It’s worth noting that there is no virgin mudslide—take away the booze and all that remains is ice!

  • I’ve always called this an adult milkshake – it’s brilliant – especially in an hot tub with the snow falling around you 😘

  • I’m making this for a St. Patty’s Day party – and I don’t need to try it out beforehand because I know (like all your recipes) it will be perfect! Thanks for being so good at what you do! Please tell me you’ll have a book signing near Grand Rapids?!

    • Hi Kendra, so glad you feel confident enough with the recipes to use them for entertaining! I will be having some book signings, but I don’t know where yet. 🙂 When I have more information, I will be sure to let readers know – thanks for your support!

  • These are delicious and incredibly easy to make. FYI – you can buy mudslides already made in a bottle but this is really so much better so save your $ and go for this way to mix your own.

    • Hi Emily. I didn’t know there were mudslides in a bottle. I’m not a drinker, but I’ve tried them (just a sip). I’ll probably try them again sometime. But who makes them and where can you get them in bottles? Thanks.

  • Many many congratulations on your cook book! I cannot wait to read it in time! My little sis, who is now the mother of five and a phenomenal chef, told me about your blog around two years ago. My studies brought me to Paris over 25 years ago and I never left as I met my husband (and the rest is history). Your recipes have been enjoyed with SO much praise from him and our two children, in addition to many French people..in schools, at gatherings, etc. EVERYONE here sings your praises and your recipes!! Thank you SO much for your tremendous gift and for bringing your recipes each and every day to Paris. Un GRAND MERCI!! I will also be eternally grateful to my wonderful sister for sharing news of you and your cooking! We will be first in line to get a copy of your book! Félicitations!!!

    • Thanks so much for the kind words — I’m thrilled to hear that you have shared some of my recipes with your French friends and neighbors. (After all, that’s where I was “bitten by the cooking bug.”) I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. 🙂

I know you’ve heard this from followers before, but it bears repeating – EVERY recipe of yours that I’ve tried has been wonderful and a definite “keeper!” My husband still raves whenever I make the chocolate banana bread! And don’t even get me started about your slow-baked BBQ short-ribs! Looking forward to your cookbook! Congratulations!

    • Thanks Sandy (and everyone else who has commented) for submitting such nice, supportive notes about the site and my upcoming cookbook– I so appreciate you taking the time to write!
