Question
I have had this drink a couple of ways and would love to have both versions of the recipe.  One version is made with ice cream -- I know it has kahlua (sp?), chocolate syrup, and I think Irish Cream (Bailey's).  I've also had it as a frozen type drink, but with no ice cream.  I know it's pretty gushy, but I'd love to have the recipe.  I would appreciate any information.  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Jonelle!

Here's the recipe I have for a frozen mudslide without the ice cream. It's for a party, or if you want enough to last all night!

1/2 cup. vodka
1/2 cup Kalhua
1/2 cup Irish Cream
1 to 1.5 cups heavy cream
1 tbs. chocolate syrup

Fill blender jar with ice.  Add vodka, LC Kahlua, LC Irish Cream, and cream.  Blend well until thick and creamy.   Drizzle chocolate syrup inside glasses.  Fill glasses.  If you are really ambitious, you could whip some cream to top it off!

I wasn't sure if you wanted the version with the ice cream as well, so here is the recipe that TGIF Friday's uses:

1 1/2 oz Vodka (Absolut)
1 1/2 oz Bailey's irish cream
1 1/2 oz Kahlua
8 cubes Ice
1 1/2 oz Cream
1 scoop Vanilla Ice-cream
2 scoops Chocolate Ice-cream

Begin by crushing the 8 ice cubes in a blender. When ice is finely crushed, add the remaining ingredients and blend for 45 seconds on blender's highest setting. Pour into glass and serve immediately.

Hope this helps... Enjoy!
