Mudslide Shooter

For a creamier texture, slightly increase the proportion of Baileys Irish cream.

If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, add a bit more Kahlua relative to the other ingredients.

For a stronger alcoholic kick, increase the vodka proportion slightly.

Chill the ingredients beforehand for a more refreshing shooter.

Experiment with flavored vodkas, like vanilla or caramel, for a twist on the traditional recipe.

If you find the shooter too strong, you can serve it over ice in a small rocks glass to dilute it slightly.

Remember to drink responsibly, especially with layered shooters, as they can be deceptively strong.

What type of glass is best for a mudslide shooter?
