Prepare a martini glass. Drizzle chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass or dip the rim into the sauce.
To a cocktail shaker filled with ice, add vodka coffee liqueur, Irish cream and cream. Shake well.
Strain into the prepared martini glass. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
Notes
Heavy cream (AKA whipping cream) is a must for this cocktail to make it smooth and creamy. Half-and-half does work, but it yields a slightly thinner drink. Milk will be even thinner, and won’t thicken up, so I don’t recommend it.Frozen Mudslide: Throw all the ingredients of this simple creamy cocktail in a blender with a few scoops of ice cream to make it like a boozy milkshake. Vanilla is classic, but you could also use coffee or chocolate ice cream for a twist.
