My sister-in-law is a huge Harry Potter fan, so the second I mentioned making mudslides inspired by butterbeer, she appointed herself head of the taste-testing crew. My first batch used a caramel-flavored vodka I'd picked up on a whim, and it was good, but when I ran out and had to make a second round with just the Butterscotch Schnapps and Irish Cream, everyone agreed that version won.

I was genuinely surprised, and I had to physically pull myself away from my glass before I drank the whole thing without sharing. "Take it away!" I begged. They happily obliged.

This one blends up like a boozy milkshake, and it's dangerously easy to drink more of than you planned.
