What is Vodka Mudshake?
It is an alcoholic milkshake. At first I thought yuck, then strange then I thought about it. I have drank Baileys, Dooleys and Cadbury’s chocolate liqueur and all of them are milk based. I ... ...and have even had a vodka milkshake in Revolutions Vodka Bar. As I have said Vodka Mudshake comes in two flavours caramel and chocolate and I would think will come increasingly available. I paid 98 pence for mine so I felt that was a real bargain. I can imagine these would retail for about £2 in a fancy bar.

...my first sip of a Vodka Mudshake. Wow! Alcoholic milkshakes and they’re rather nice as I gradually found myself sipping another and another…….
Vodka Mudshakes are made by the Australasian based Independent Distillers Group who have been trading here in the UK for the past couple of years. The group’s marketing niche tends to be the Alco pop range with other products such as Everglades - a schnapps based drink, The Vodka Twistee - a two in one drinking ... ...to mind! Vodka Cruisers which appear to be a Vodka based Bacardi Breezer type drink and of course the wonderful Mudshakes!
After a night drinking nothing but Mudshakes and not having an evil hangover and given the number I had I should have had one god awful hangover I was on a mission to find some Mudshakes for home use! This actually was difficult then I first thought it would be. After cruising the Alco pop section of Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s and ...

Advantages: Tastes delicious, can be purchased cheaply, screw top Disadvantages: couldn't drink in large quantities as it becomes sickly, expensive in some bars
I first tried the Vodka Mudshake in the banana flavour whilst on holiday in Newquay and I paid £3.15 for a 270ml bottle. Yes I know I was ripped-off, but hey, I was on holiday!
I then went to the local Safeways where I found it for 98p a 270ml bottle and on a buy two get one free deal!
There are four different flavours available:
Banana - chalky yellow in colour, I bought it by mistake in the bar and I don't even like bananas but it tasted delicious, ... ...that the mix of the vodka spirit with a milk-based product would be slightly offputting as I would think the contents might separate but I haven't witness this as yet. But then I thought of Dooley's and Baileys and remembered that they are quite nice and don't seem to have any problems!
The consistency of the Mudshakes is good, no lumps, it is smooth but not to thick and not to thin to be confused with the consistency of most alcopops. It slides ...

...drink I'm talking about is Vodka Mudshake. As I was a first time buyer, and liked what I saw, thought I would treat myself.
I can't remember the exact price I paid, but I know it was nearly the £2 I paid for a 270 ml bottle of this drink. I was taken aback for a second as I didn't think they were so dear. Oh well, it's too late now. The bottle had been opened, and all I could do now was sit back and drink it.
The bottles are clear see though glass ... ...flavour, I could taste little vodka in this. And the alcohol content is the same.
I was, however, in Asda today. I had a shock when I saw these in sale in there. As they are ONLY £0.98p a bottle in there! It's certainly a lot different that the pubs! So I bought myself a couple of bottles today. Buying these today was what prompted me into writing about them tonight.
Well, I'm still sober, and I'm still sitting up typing away! But, what is my summary ...

Vodka Mudshake - chocolate/caramel
What a great marketing concept to help inebriate the Busted-generation of beverage buyers, and tanked-up tarts (like me) - alcoholic milkshake.
I love the concept. It could even be what cows were invented for!
I first took on the caramel flavour, which is like an iced-coffee, ideal for a summer evening.
The taste is sweet and satisfying, with no real kick, which means it doesn’t taste alcoholic.
(Logically ... ...fun - get a cow drunk on vodka coffees before milking. Now there’s a thought!
Boring Factual stuff: Vodka Mudshake is a flavoured "milk "drink with Vodka. It comes in two flavours - chocolate and caramel. The bottle size is 270ml and both have a 4% alcohol content.. ...

...I have been hooked!
Vodka Mudshakes come in amazing flavours:-
Chocolate
Banana
Strawberry
Caramel
Honeycomb
Coconut
Vanilla
Choc Mint
Choc Orange
They can be bought from Somerfield, Tesco and Morrisons and am sure many other supermarkets stock them at the very reasonable price of approximately £1.29 and for this price you get yourself a 200ml mudshake at 4%ABV.
The drink was originally imported from New Zealand and has been a great hit ... ...shakes with a bit of vodka thrown in and I am a fan of milkshakes however if you are not accustomed to sickly drinks this may not be the drink for you!
Total Calories per 270ml bottle is 285
Total Fat content of 8g
Total Carbs 34g
This is quite a fattening drink for those who need to watch their weight but it is also one of the dreamiest drinks ever and I am going to be a fan for a long time to come and have so far tried the Strawberry, Banana ...

...and combine flavoured milk with vodka in a 200 ml ready to drink bottle. They come in eight flavours, although I have only seen six of them so far and tried five. The complete range of flavours are chocolate, caramel, banana, mint, strawberry, vanilla, cappuccino and honeycomb. The last two I mentioned are the two I have not yet seen anywhere but the others that I have tried (chocolate, caramel, mint, strawberry and vanilla) are wonderful. I could ... ...I hate the taste of vodka on it's own. I found that they all had a milkshake quality to them in flavour and texture.
I suppose this type of drink may encourage some underage drinkers to try them. I was in Asda one day and had just put some of these in my trolley when a mother and her daughter (must have been about 12) stopped to look at the "Vodka Mudshake" bottles. The daughter picked them up and said that she wanted to try them because they looked ...

It comes in the following flavours:
Vanilla (Tastes like Baileys Glide, or diluted Baileys with added sugar!)
Chocolate
Strawberry
Mint
Banana

These drinks appear to be the new generation of slcopops, they're becoming more and more evident behind more and more bars despite having only been launched within the last year and a half!
Like all ... ...Mud Shake for between 99p (in an off licence or supermarket) to £3.50 in a bar or club.
The bottles used to be the same size and shape as a normal alcopops bottle (like Smirnoff Ice) with a simple paper label, but since they've become more popular, they are in smaller bottles, and have a total bottle cover, like Red Square for example, which is the metallic colour of the flavour shake it is. The downside to this is that in most places, the price ...

Advantages: Rich, Smooth & Creamy Disadvantages: Too sickly after a few!
I found Vodka Mudshake purely by chance whilst browsing round my local Asda. Its situated with the other alcohol between the bottles of beer and alcopops.
Vodka Mudshake is a flavoured milk drink with Vodka. It comes in 2 flavours - chocolate and caramel. The bottle size is 270ml and both have a 5% alcohol content.
I'm not a lover of Baileys or other cream liquers, so I was a bit dubious about trying them, but one of them pleasantly suprised me.
... ...You can't actually taste the vodka - though i'm not sure whether that is good or bad. It is rich and creamy and just takes like a strong chocolate milkshake.
The caramel one however, is not for me. It has a lot stronger taste, and the vodka is more obvious. I'm not convinced the vodka and caramel flavours go together. But thats just my opinion!
The product is made by Independant Distillers UK Ltd in Stanford in the Vale. The only place i've seen ...

Advantages: Probably a good source of calcium Disadvantages: Doesn't look cool, drinking a milkshake in a pub!
...I could not taste the Vodka at all.
However, for a milkshake, I did find it quite watery, personally I prefer my milkshakes creamy and was tempted to go back to the bar and ask for some squirty cream to be added (it was only my mates that stopped me, advised it wouldn't look cool in a crowded bar on a Friday night)
I would recommend this, but really in future would prefer to keep my milkshakes seperate from my alcohol, if I'm going to pay for Vodka, ...

Advantages: Good choice of flavours, yummy! Disadvantages: Don't realise there's vodka in it until you stand up!
...and without realising it the vodka took control!
I think they're brilliant but the only problem both myself and my friends have found is that it is easy to have too many.
They're pretty reasonable in price ranging where you go for a couple of quid which is good if your a student like me!
The other thing is they're nice for a change from fizzy alcopops etc but I find that they become a bit sickly after a couple.
There's a good range of flavours ... ...half a bottle, 1 at the max! (1/5)
-Vanilla - Nice milkshakey flavour but holds that aftertaste on your tongue which isn't too nice but good generally (3/5)
-Banana - I like this one! My friends don't and to be honest doesn't realy taste of banana - tastes a bit fake - but worth a try for something different! Very sweet too (4/5)
-Chocolate - This is my second favourite - nice smooth taste and creamy too, its not that horrible chocolate taste ...

...at Chrstimas but this new Vodka Mudshake has changed the way I view alcohol. I can't get enough of the stuff! At £1.19 a bottle, it's a bargain too for 200ml. Because the label doesn't say much, I've yet to work out how many calories there in it but who cares. I get a chocolatey hit followed by a nice warm, fuzzy feeling - what a great combination. This isn't the kind of alcoholic beverage I would order in a pub but its nice for a treat at home in ...

Advantages: Tasty, gets you Hammered Disadvantages: Goes down too fact
I saw the Carmel flavor variety of this wonderful elixr in my local Sainsburys for £1-05 a bottle, and since I was not in a beer drinking mood it seemed to be the ideal solution to the Sunday afternoon doldrums.
I opened the first of the 4 bottles whilst it was still warm and, it slipped effortlesly down my throut. Now as I have a disgustingly sweet tooth I did not immediatley notice how sickly it actually is. The taste was like that of the worlds ... ...which the first bottle went down left me with a serious problem, the other bottles had not been in the fridge long enough. To counter this unwanted warmness I added a generous helping of ice, the problem being that this made it taste even better. So the next bottle disapeared even faster.
The other two bottles of it were consumed with equal speed and soon I was left with the problem of having no Alcohol in the house, on a sunday afternoon. The only ...
