The Story

Said to have been born in the 1970s at the Wreck Bar on Grand Cayman, the Mudslide is a White Russian that went to dessert — Irish cream and extra cream turning coffee liqueur and vodka into a full-blown adult milkshake. It spread through beach bars and chain menus and never really left.
