Leap into the Penguin Mudbath

It's Happy Hour! In this episode Ben is diving into a Mudslide. It's a sweet and creamy and almost makes Ben cry. Meanwhile Matthew is hopping over to (drink a) Bloom County. This simple recipe from the Educated Barfly is a surprisingly complex concoction. They also discuss what to do on your extra day this year and give advice on how to jump up your cocktails. Recipes below.

Mudslide

  • 1 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 1 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 1 1/2 oz Heavy Cream
  • Chocolate shavings for garnish

Combine the vodka, Baileys’ and coffee liqueur in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Double strain into a coupe glass. Top with chocolate shavings.

Bloom County
