Banana Mudslide Cocktail

A light and frothy, on the rocks twist on the classic mudslide cocktail. Leveled up with fresh flavors, perfectly balanced for easy sipping.

This banana mudslide cocktail recipe reinvents the classic mudslide into a luxurious easy-sipping libation. Homemade banana syrup adds notes of fruit and caramel, brandy provides a subtle smoky sweetness, vodka (or rum) makes it stout, and coffee liqueur adds a caffeine kick.

For your next gathering, multiply the recipe, stir it up in a pitcher, and pour over ice. Just like that, you’ve got a crowd-pleaser that will have everyone raising a glass to you.

What'll You Need

INGREDIENTS:

1 ounce vodka or rum
1 ounce coffee liqueur (such as Kahlua)
1 ounce brandy
1 ounce banana simple syrup
1 ounce cream
caramel syrup and espresso powder for rim garnish

A flavor note: Either vodka or rum work in this cocktail! Keep in mind if you choose dark rum, there will be more notes of caramel. which is equally yummy.

I serve this creamy liqueur coffee cocktail in an ice-filled rocks glasses, or shake and pour it straight up into a chilled martini glass.

If you’d like a less stout cocktail, reduce the brandy and vodka/rum to 1/2 ounce each.

Directions

Combine all ingredients (reserving the caramel syrup and espresso powder to rim the glass) in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds.
Strain the banana mudslide into an ice-filled, espresso-rimmed rocks glass, or make it a martini cocktail by straining into a chilled martini glass.
To make the caramel espresso rim, pour a few teaspoons of caramel syrup onto a small, flat plate. Sprinkle a separate small plate with grains of espresso powder. Dip the outer rim of the glass into the caramel syrup, then lightly coat the rim with the espresso powder.

This banana mudslide liqueur coffee cocktail recipe creates the perfect frosty summer libation!
