Treat yourself to a frozen strawberry mudslide, the ultimate fusion of sweet strawberry flavor, silky liqueurs, and creamy ice cream. It’s an instant crowd-pleaser that’ll have you coming back for more.
Strawberry Mudslide Ingredients
This delightful strawberry mudslide cocktail all starts with ice cream that blends beautifully with the liqueurs.
The Baileys strawberries & cream liqueur adds a delightful strawberry twist and creamy texture to the mudslide, making it an absolute delight.
The Kahlua gives the cocktail a coffee undertone that complements the sweetness wonderfully. At the same time, the whipped cream vodka variant adds an extra layer of airy lightness that’s just too good to miss!
You’ll need:
- 1½ ounces of Bailey’s strawberries & cream liqueur
- 1 ounce of Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 ounce of whipped cream vodka
- ¼ cup of whole milk
- 3 scoops of strawberry ice cream
For The Garnish:
- Chocolate syrup
- Extra creamy squirt whipped topping
- Whole fresh strawberry for the rim of the glass
PRO TIP:
When choosing your brand of ice cream, be sure to choose a good quality version. Remember, the better the quality of your ingredients, the tastier your frozen mudslide drink will be.
Substitutions and Additions
ALMOND MILK OR OAT MILK: If you want to make the mudslide cocktail dairy-free, substituting whole milk with almond or oat milk will work fine. These options also add a unique nutty or oat flavor.
CREME DE CACAO: If you’re out of Kahlua coffee liqueur, creme de cacao offers a chocolatey twist to your strawberry mudslide.
FRANGELICO: A hazelnut liqueur could be a delectable swap for whipped cream vodka, adding a layer of nutty flavors to the drink.
BAILEYS STRAWBERRIES & CREAM LIQUEUR: You can use original Baileys Irish Cream liqueur if the Strawberries & Cream variant is unavailable. Just add 3-4 frozen strawberries to keep the berry component.
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM: If you’re a chocolate lover, replace the strawberry ice cream with chocolate. Don’t forget to add a couple of fresh strawberries to maintain the berry kick!
CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to the blender for a chunky, chocolatey surprise.
GARNISH: Instead of chocolate syrup, coat the rim of the glass with colorful sprinkles or shredded coconut for a festive look.
How To Make This Strawberry Mudslide Recipe
A quick spin in your blender is all you need to create this frozen mudslide drink. Let’s dive into the instructions.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Ensure your strawberry ice cream is ready to scoop and not too hard before you start this recipe.
STEP ONE: Add Bailey’s strawberries & cream liqueur, Kahlua coffee liqueur, whipped cream vodka, whole milk, and strawberry ice cream to the container of a blender.
Blend on high for 30 seconds or until smooth.
STEP TWO: Add the chocolate sauce to the inside of a 15.5-ounce hurricane glass in long drips going down the sides of the glass.
STEP THREE: Pour the strawberry mudslide mixture into the glass, being careful not to disturb the chocolate sauce drips too much.
STEP FOUR: Add a generous squirt of extra creamy whipped topping to the top of the strawberry mudslide and drizzle a little extra chocolate sauce on the top.
Add the whole strawberry to the side of the glass for additional garnish.
PRO TIP:
Depending on the brand of strawberry ice cream you use, the color of your drink will vary. Some strawberry ice cream varieties are lighter than others. You can always add 2-3 frozen strawberries to the blender to deepen the color and increase the strawberry flavor.
How To Serve
Elevate your adult milkshake even more with these serving suggestions.
Serve this frozen strawberry mudslide alongside chocolate-dipped strawberries for a berry-infused, chocolaty treat.
Adding a handful of fresh berries like blueberries, raspberries, or even more strawberries can turn this cocktail into a delectable dessert course. The berries will soak up some of the alcohol and provide a delightful burst of flavor.
For a large gathering, serve the strawberry mudslide in shot glasses or mini dessert cups as a “welcome drink.” Add appetizers, including our cucumber bites and stuffed mushrooms, and you’re all set.
Our classic mudslide drink is a favorite, while our pineapple cooler brings a tropical burst to your glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, but this may alter the creamy texture and flavor of your strawberry cocktail.
Although this is a strawberry mudslide, you can experiment with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or even a tropical twist with mango or pineapple.
The original recipe contains alcohol, so it’s not suitable for kids. However, you can make a non-alcoholic version using substitutes like non-alcoholic Irish cream and coffee syrups.
While ice cream gives the drink a creamy texture, you can use frozen strawberries for a lighter version. You may want to add a bit of sugar or honey to compensate for the ice cream’s sweetness.
High speed is recommended to get that creamy, smooth texture. However, be careful not to over-blend, as you don’t want the ice cream to melt too much.
