Regulars at the Beach Hut, the oceanfront
bar and restaurant in Cedar
Beach, were disappointed when the
venue changed hands, became the
equally popular Salt Shack, and
dropped the Babylon Mudslide from
the menu last summer.
But there is good news for 2019: Salt
Shack, which opened for the season in
early May, has brought back the one,
the only Babylon Mudslide.
“The new owners of the Salt Shack
made improvements in every aspect
of this beachfront resort with
a focus on speed of cocktails and
speed and quality of food,” says
Mark Miller, who owns the seaside
grill with several other established
restaurateurs on the island. “We
invested in the best frozen drink
machines that money could buy in
order to remove the lines waiting
for frozen drinks. Mission was
accomplished and every drink improved
— except one.”
Salt Shack’s owners opened the business’s
doors in 2018 without the Beach
Hut’s Mudslide on the menu.
“We took the old Mudslide off the
menu because making it with ice
cream was time-consuming, and we
no longer wanted lines for anything,”
Miller says.
Throughout the first year of business,
what the owners learned was
the following: The Mudslide was a
community staple. After taking customer
feedback into consideration,
the owners decided to bring back
the Babylon Mudslide because “the
people of Babylon were so passionate
about it,” he says.
The ingredients for the Babylon
Mudslide are as follows: Kahlúa,
Absolut Vodka, Bailey’s, milk and
(of course) ice cream.
“The drink of the year at the Salt
Shack 2019 will be the return of
the Babylon Mudslide,
with real chocolate
chip ice
cream,” he says.
“The people have
spoken!”
Throw the drink’s
ingredients into a
blender with ice
and blend. The
drink’s served
in a 16-ounce Salt
Shack Cup with a
Hershey’s Chocolate
rim.
“Your two-hour vacation
starts at the Salt
Shack on Ocean Parkway
in Babylon,” he says.
Salt Shack
dropped the Babylon
Mudslide from
the menu last year,
but here’s the good
news: It’s back.
