Light up your summer with cocktail recipes from Extraordinary Chaos

They don’t have to be laden with alcohol either, they are great way to get much needed fluid into the boys on a hot day, rehydration in disguise as a Shirley temple on crushed ice always works a treat.

Today I want to share one of my favourite cocktail recipes with you, my version of a Baileys Mudslide. This is definitely one of those cocktails that creeps into the dessert category, not only it is delicious, it is so filling. And is great to offer guests as a dessert at a summer BBQ.

Blend together the crushed ice, Baileys, Vodka and espresso.

Then add the ice cream and give a couple of pulses to blend before pouring into large cocktail glasses and returning to the freezer. (Speed is important at this stage quickly to prevent the ice cream melting.)

Leave for 5 minutes, then grate the chocolates on the top and serve.

Is it just me, or are Cocktails mainly a summer thing too? As soon as the sun is shining and I have nowhere to be, my minds starts to wander to delicious cocktail recipes. Generally made on ice, the type that are refreshing and cold but most definitely more of a dessert that a drink.

Cocktails are the things of summer dreams, sipping them around a pool on holiday, drinking on a summer’s day in the city with the girls, or just chilling in the garden on a hot day.

Something for the adults, whilst the kids are munching on chocolate ice cream cones with the regulation flake. Or is it just my kids that think an ice cream without a flake is not an ice cream?

(Makes 2 large cocktails)

4 fl oz of Baileys

4 fl oz of Vodka
