Jameson replaces vodka for an Irish spin on the traditional Frozen Mudslide recipe, making this blended frozen cocktail one you will crave all year round. Irish whiskey, Kahlua, and Baileys Irish Cream combine with ice cream for a creamy adult milkshake that is sure to become one of your favorite St Patricks day drinks!

This amazing cocktail was inspired by our friends at Crayons and Cravings and their delicious Valentine’s Day Mudslide.

St. Patrick’s Day Mudslide Ingredients

Just four ingredients are required for this frozen mudslide recipe. To blend this smooth sipper, grab the following ingredients:

  • Irish whiskey: Jameson is our go-to Irish whiskey. It is also used in our Irish Coffee Recipe.
  • Kahlua: Coffee liqueur that really compliments the whiskey and cream flavors in this mudslide drink.
  • Baileys Irish Cream: Another Irish ingredient for this St. Patrick’s Day cocktail.
  • Ice cream: We used vanilla ice cream for this recipe, but heavy cream would also work if that’s what you have on hand.
