Mudslide Questions, All in One Place
You can substitute the vodka and liqueurs with similar flavored syrups or mocktail bases. Use strawberry syrup, coffee syrup, and cream for a similar taste profile.
Use a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious. Strain into a glass for a smooth consistency.
Reduce the amount of strawberry milk or use unsweetened milk. Add a splash of cold brew coffee to balance the sweetness and introduce a deeper flavor.
A neutral, smooth vodka is ideal. Vanilla or strawberry-flavored vodka can add an extra layer of flavor to the Pink Mudslide.
