Origin stories

The Mudslide, a rich and creamy cocktail, has an interesting background. Its origins can be traced back to the 1950s, in a tiny bar known as the Wreck Bar in the Cayman Islands. An assortment of foreign liqueurs that were available due to the absence of import taxes led to the creation of this delightful drink. The original Mudslide was actually served on the rocks, unlike the frozen or ice-blended versions that are incredibly popular today. So, in essence, this indulgent cocktail owes its existence to a tropical paradise with a penchant for inventiveness and a generous tax policy.
