Mudslide, White Russian with espresso, Kahlúa float
Dessert-inspired alcoholic coffees take things a step further, delivering thick, creamy, and indulgent drinks that blur the line between dessert and cocktail. These beverages are typically served cold or over ice and feature rich liqueurs like Baileys, Kahlúa, or vodka combined with chocolate, cream, or ice cream. The mudslide, for example, is a decadent blend of vodka, coffee liqueur, and Irish cream served over ice or blended like a milkshake. A White Russian becomes even more dynamic when you add a shot of espresso, while a Kahlúa float layers liqueur and cola or espresso with scoops of vanilla ice cream for an adult root-beer-float experience. Perfect for late-night treats or celebratory occasions, these drinks offer sweetness, smooth texture, and bold flavors. They’re often served in elegant glasses and topped with garnishes like chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, or a cherry, making them both luxurious and fun.
