Mudslide (Barney's Beach Hut)

The difference between a Fairy Tale and a Sea Story is that Fairy Tales begin with "Once Upon A Time" and a Sea Story begins with "This Ain't No Shit". I'm going to start a true Sea Story as if it were a Fairy Tale as I fear that Barney's "ain't no more…

"Once upon a time", on the shores of the East Phillipines Sea, in Agana Guam, was a lovely Beach Bar called Barney's Beach Hut. There, for just under $12, you could any drink of your choice. It didn't matter if it was a coke or a Mudslide or water or Long Island Iced Tea. It was all the same price and came in a plastic toy bucket, complete with little plastic shover. Tis something you'd play in the sand with… However, after drinking something alcoholic (like the Mudslide recipied below) you probably didn't want to get off the Beach Chair. You just wanted to wait for the sundown (and the precious "Green Flash") and try to sober up enuf to drive home!)

The Mudslide recipe is tasty but sneaks up on you. I can't afford the cost [metabolic or cash] of the ingredients and haven't made a batch since 1989. (My Mother in Law tried some, liked it a lot and got shit faced on it! She didn't forgive me for years…)
in about ten years.

Mudslide (Barnie's Beach Hut)

1/2 oz Vodka
1/2 oz Bailey's Irish Cream
1/2 oz Kahlua

Add ice and blend until it looks like a slurry. This is a
sneaky kind of drink by the way.
