1. Chill Your Shot Glass:

Start by placing your shot glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink. This keeps the final pour velvety smooth and pleasantly cold.

2. Fill the Shaker with Ice:

Grab your cocktail shaker and fill it halfway with ice. This will cool the ingredients quickly while blending them evenly.

3. Pour in the Liquors:

Add the following to your shaker:

• ½ oz vodka

• ½ oz Kahlúa

• ½ oz Baileys Irish Cream

• ½ oz chocolate syrup or mocha liqueur

The balance here is critical—the vodka adds backbone, the Kahlúa gives a roasted edge, the Baileys adds creaminess, and the chocolate syrup ties it all together.

4. Shake Vigorously:

Put the lid on your shaker and shake it like you mean it for 15–20 seconds. You want everything ice-cold and fully integrated.

5. Strain into the Glass:

Remove your chilled shot glass from the freezer or dump out the ice water. Strain the mixture into the glass. The color should be a luxurious deep mocha brown with a creamy sheen.

6. Garnish (Optional but Recommended):

Top with a small dollop of whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate syrup, a dusting of cocoa powder, or even a curled chocolate shaving for flair.

7. Serve Immediately:

The Mocha Mudslide Shot is best enjoyed cold, creamy, and freshly poured. Sip slowly or take it in one delicious gulp.
