Scaled for a crowd rather than a single glass, the Mudslinger is a large-format party punch assembled in a bowl or jug from a full bottle of Southern Comfort, a litre of orange juice, and a large measure of Pepsi Cola. The peach-toned whiskey liqueur carries the drink's sweetness, the orange juice supplies citrus body, and the cola adds caramel depth and effervescence. Stirred together and served over ice, the punch reaches around 13 percent ABV across the batch. Its smooth, fruit-and-cola profile masks its strength, making it a deceptively drinkable fixture at informal gatherings.

History & Origins
Mudslinger belongs to the American tradition of Southern Comfort-based party punches that became popular in the mid-20th century, when pre-mixed liqueur drinks gained traction at informal social gatherings. Southern Comfort itself was created by M.W. Heron in New Orleans around 1874. The exact origin of the Mudslinger recipe is disputed, though it appears in home entertaining guides from the 1970s and 1980s.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet peach and whiskey from the Southern Comfort, with orange citrus and cola. Palate: Intensely sweet with dominant peach and fruit liqueur notes, fresh orange juice brightness, and the caramel-cola character of the Pepsi; moderate alcoholic warmth throughout. Finish: Sweet, slightly fizzy, and warm with lingering fruit and cola notes.
Pro Tip
Serve the punch well chilled over a large block of ice rather than cubes to slow dilution and keep the drink fresh throughout a long party.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ingredients are in a Mudslinger cocktail?
The Mudslinger is a creamy shooter or cocktail typically made with vodka, coffee liqueur such as Kahlúa, and Irish cream liqueur. Some variations add chocolate liqueur or a splash of cream to enhance the richness. It is shaken with ice and served in a shot glass or rocks glass.
How is a Mudslinger different from a Mudslide?
While both drinks share similar base ingredients, the Mudslider is generally a lighter, spirit-forward blend, whereas the Mudslide is a creamier dessert cocktail often made with ice cream or heavy cream and blended to milkshake consistency. The Mudslinger tends to be served as a shot or short drink rather than a blended beverage.
What is the approximate ABV of a Mudslinger?
The Mudslinger typically has an ABV of around 15–20%, depending on the ratio of spirits to liqueurs used. Vodka generally contributes the highest alcohol content, while coffee liqueur and Irish cream are lower at around 15–17% ABV each. When served as a shooter, the total volume is small and the drink is quite potent per sip.
