Peppermint Mudslide

One of our favorite cocktails to make around here is a mudslide.  Something about the combination of flavors is just so perfect and since it is the holiday season, I decided that I just had to pull out my jar of peppermint simple syrup and use it to make a peppermint mudslide!

This little Christmas cocktail has all of the classic mudslide ingredients – Bailey’s, Kahlua, vodka, heavy cream, and chocolate sauce along with a bit of peppermint simple syrup to give it some holiday flavor.  There is nothing not to love about this cocktail for mudslide fans!
