Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons chocolate sauce, divided

- 2 shots (3 ounces) Irish cream (like Bailey’s or Five Farms)
- 1 shot (1.5 ounces) Kahlua

Directions:
- Since we are making frozen drinks, it’s good to have everything ready. This way, the drinks won’t melt before serving.

- Use a frother to dip into the chocolate syrup, and with a pulsing motion, create chocolate lines up the side of the glass about 1 inch apart.
- Place the glasses in the freezer while you prepare the mudslides.
- In a blender, combine the remaining chocolate syrup, vodka, Kahlua, and Irish cream.
- Add in the 2 cups of ice and the 6 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
- Divide the mixture between the two prepared glasses.
- Top with whipped cream, a cherry, and some chocolate shavings for extra flair. Serve immediately.

How to store Frozen Mudslide
It’s best to enjoy your Frozen Mudslide right away, as it is a frozen drink. However, if you have any leftover mixture, you can store it in an airtight container in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy again, simply blend it for a few seconds to regain that creamy texture.
