Peppermint Mudslide Cocktails are a quick and easy holiday drink that everyone will love. The perfect cocktail to put you in the holiday spirit. 

This Salted Caramel Mudslide is one of our most popular vodka cocktails and I was inspired to put a Christmas spin on the classic. Adding peppermint schnapps is just the ticket for a holiday twist.

Dessert cocktails are my favorite for holiday get togethers. This 4- ingredient mudslide is a sweet and delicious treat to serve for holiday cocktail parties and Christmas get togethers. We also love these Eggnog White Russian cocktails for the holidays.
