The Lewinnick Mudslide: A decadent classic

What is a Mudslide?

A rich, frothy option of a cocktail, this one is not for the faint hearted (or the lactose-intolerant!). With Caribbean roots, the Mudslide was created in a bar in the Grand Cayman islands in the 1970s. As the story goes, at the time when the Wreck Bar on the island was just a thatched hut, a customer came in requesting a White Russian.

Unprepared for specific requests as this, the bar replaced the heavy cream used to make a White Russian with Irish Cream liqueur. Unsurprisingly, this substitution proved rather popular. The creation of the branded Baileys Irish cream then acted as a catalyst to the cocktail's popularity.

Lewinnick's Mudslide takes inspiration from the Mudslide's roots, with an added chocolate hit for good measure.
