Oh, let me tell ya, if ya like a sweet, creamy drink that’ll make ya feel like yer sipping a big ol’ milkshake, then you gotta try the TGI Friday’s Mudslide. It’s a drink that’ll make ya say, “Why didn’t I know about this sooner?” It’s got all the good stuff in it—vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and heavy cream, mixed up like a magic potion, turning into a rich, boozy treat. Some folks say it’s like a grown-up milkshake, but I say it’s just a darn good drink that’ll hit the spot anytime.
Now, this here drink didn’t just show up outta nowhere. Nope. It’s got history. Originally, folks down in the Caribbean, on Grand Cayman Island, started making this drink. This feller they called Old Judd came up with it back in the 1950s at a place called The Wreck Bar and Grill. I ain’t no expert, but I reckon he did a good job, cause here we are today, still talkin’ about that Mudslide. It’s become a staple on many a menu, especially at TGI Fridays, where they got it all nice and ready for ya to just pick up and enjoy.
If you’re lookin’ to make your own at home, don’t worry, it ain’t too tricky. All you need is a few simple ingredients, and if you got a blender, you’re halfway there. First, you’ll need two ounces of vodka, two ounces of Kahlúa—yep, that coffee liqueur that gives it that nice kick—then two ounces of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Add a little bit of heavy cream or half-and-half, and if you like it extra creamy, you can even throw in a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream. That’ll give it a nice texture. Blend it all up real good, and voila, you got yourself a Mudslide.
But wait, there’s more! Some folks like it frozen, and I gotta admit, that’s a treat too. You just toss all them ingredients into the blender with some ice, and blend it till it’s nice and smooth. You can top it off with some chocolate syrup if you’re feelin’ fancy. This frozen version is like a dessert and a drink all rolled into one. Perfect for those warm evenings when you just wanna kick back and relax. Ain’t nothin’ like it.
What makes the TGI Friday’s Mudslide special?

Now, I gotta tell ya, this Mudslide thing ain’t just somethin’ folks have at TGI Fridays. People all over are making their own versions of it at home. Some folks even like to throw in some chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla to give it a richer, chocolatey flavor. And if you’re really feelin’ fancy, you can even drizzle some chocolate syrup on top. It’s all about what you like. That’s the beauty of a Mudslide, you can make it just the way you want it.
