Tasting Notes

The Oreo Mudslide Cocktail is a luscious, milkshake-like drink that blends boozy richness with nostalgic sweetness. Vodka, Kahlúa, and Baileys Irish Cream provide a trifecta of warmth, coffee, and creamy vanilla flavors. Vanilla ice cream and a whole Oreo cookie turn the drink into a dessert in a glass, creating a thick, velvety texture with cookie crunch and chocolate undertones. Served in a frosted glass and topped with whipped cream and a cherry, this cocktail is decadent, smooth, and satisfyingly sweet—perfect for those who love creamy cocktails and crave a playful, grown-up twist on a childhood favorite.

Equipment and Glassware

To make this cocktail, you’ll need a blender to fully integrate the ice cream and cookie with the spirits, creating a smooth, milkshake-like texture. Use a jigger for precise spirit measurements, and optionally, a cookie crumble tool if you want extra garnish. Serve it in a large milkshake glass, stemless goblet, or frosted pint glass for a chilled and creamy presentation. A spoon or straw is helpful for thick sips, and a pastry bag can elevate your whipped cream topping if you’re going for a restaurant-worthy finish.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz vodka
• 1 oz Kahlúa
• 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1 Oreo cookie
• Whipped cream (for garnish)
• Oreo cookie (for garnish)

Instructions

• Blend: Add vodka, Kahlúa, Baileys, vanilla ice cream, and Oreo to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
• Serve: Pour the mixture into a large frosted glass.
• Garnish: Top with whipped cream and finish with an Oreo cookie.

Pro Tips

• Chill the glass beforehand for a frosty presentation. Use premium vanilla ice cream for better texture and creaminess. Want it thicker? Add a third scoop or use less alcohol.
• For extra chocolate flair, drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass before pouring. Try flavored vodka (like vanilla or whipped cream) for an extra dessert-like finish.
• Want more Oreo flavor? Add a second cookie or sprinkle Oreo crumbs on the whipped cream.
• You can also make a non-alcoholic version by skipping the booze and subbing chocolate milk.

When to Serve

The Oreo Mudslide Cocktail is perfect for dessert hours, birthday parties, girls’ nights, date nights, or holiday entertaining. It’s also great as a boozy milkshake alternative or a cheeky way to end a meal. Serve at brunches, game nights, or whenever you want something indulgent, fun, and full of flair. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser for anyone who loves cookies, cream, and a splash of spirit.

Which Liquor Brands to Choose

• Use a smooth vodka like Tito’s, Stoli, or Smirnoff Vanilla for a creamy twist.
• For Kahlúa, the original works perfectly, but you could also try Salted Caramel or Mocha varieties.
• Baileys Original is classic, but Baileys Chocolate Cherry or Almande (for a dairy-free option) are fun alternatives.
• Use quality vanilla ice cream like Haagen-Dazs or Tillamook, and don’t forget classic Oreos—or go bold with Double Stuf or Mint Oreos for a fun flavor variation.
