Salted Caramel Pretzel Mudslide Cocktail Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 oz vanilla vodka (or caramel-flavored vodka for a richer caramel taste)
• 1 oz coffee liqueur (like Kahlúa)
• 1 oz Baileys Irish Cream
• 1 oz salted caramel syrup (or caramel sauce, heated to a liquid consistency)
• 1/2 oz heavy cream (for a rich and creamy texture)
• Crushed pretzels (for garnish)
• Chocolate syrup (for drizzling, optional)
• Ice (for blending)

Directions

1. Prepare the Glass: Begin by drizzling chocolate syrup inside the glass for a decorative touch. You can swirl the syrup around the sides of the glass to create a beautiful pattern. For added crunch and flavor, dip the rim of the glass into salted caramel syrup, and then dip it into crushed pretzels. This will create a fun and flavorful pretzel crust around the rim of your glass, adding to the overall texture of the drink.
2. Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 oz of vanilla vodka (or caramel-flavored vodka), 1 oz of coffee liqueur, 1 oz of Baileys Irish Cream, and 1 oz of salted caramel syrup. Add 1/2 oz of heavy cream for a smooth, velvety texture. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.
3. Serve the Cocktail: Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass. If you used crushed pretzels for the rim, be careful not to disturb the crust while pouring. The creamy, caramel-infused cocktail will fill the glass with richness.
4. Garnish and Enjoy: For the final touch, sprinkle a few additional crushed pretzels on top for a salty crunch. You can also drizzle a little more salted caramel syrup or chocolate syrup on top for extra sweetness and decoration. Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, salty, and sweet flavors in this indulgent cocktail!
