Tips for Making

• Frozen Mudslide – If you love a boozy milkshake, you can turn this into a blender drink by simply blending with a handful of ice. You can also swap the heavy cream for a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you like. 
• Chocolate Rim – Use chocolate syrup to create a chocolate sauce rim. You can also dip it in chocolate sprinkles if you’re feeling fancy. You can also use melted chocolate as a decadent garnish. 
• Extra Cold – For a colder drink, place your vodka in the freezer, it won’t freeze but it will get icy cold—perfect for cocktails.
