Head to head
Mudslide and White Russian side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference
Vodka and coffee liqueur in both. The White Russian floats plain cream on top and pours more vodka; the Mudslide shakes in Irish cream liqueur instead, so it is sweeter and lower in strength.

The Mudslide uses Irish cream where the White Russian uses cream; both have coffee liqueur and vodka. In parts, a Mudslide is 1 coffee liqueur, 1 vodka and 1 Irish cream; a White Russian is 2 vodka, 1 coffee liqueur and 1 cream. By volume, the Mudslide is 67% liqueur and 33% spirit; the White Russian is 50% spirit, 25% mixer and juice and 25% liqueur.
