The Mudslide developed in the 1970s and became associated with dessert style cocktails, particularly in resort settings. It is closely related to the White Russian family of drinks.
Adding rum alongside coffee liqueur and cream creates a richer, more layered version. It is smooth, indulgent, and firmly in after dinner territory. It is a drink that leans into comfort rather than precision.
