Notes
The classic shaken Mudslide swaps the ice cream for heavy cream and ice, shaken hard and strained over fresh ice. That version is faster but less indulgent. The frozen blender version is the one most people picture.
For a slightly less aggressive cocktail, drop the vodka. The Mudslide started life in the 1970s without it, just Kahlua and Baileys with cream. The vodka version is the punchier modern build.
