Skinny Mudslide

I'm of the belief that when I drink a cocktail it should taste good. Yeah, yeah... a vodka redbull does come in handy when I need to dance my booty off, but really, when I have my choice, I'm definitely not a whiskey and water type of girl. I like strong pina coladas, margaritas and rum runners. Of course, the rum runner would preferably be enjoyed while in Key West, the pina colada in Hawaii and the margarita somewhere on the beach in Mexico.
These drinks are not figure-friendly by any stretch of the imagination, and possibly the very least figure-friendly (but incredibly tasty) cocktail is the mudslide. Oh lawdy, do I love a mudslide. It's super easy to cut a ton of calories out of a mudslide, though (not so much with the pina colada). A typical mudslide includes cream so when I want to enjoy, I swap the cream out for skim milk.

So, for my "skinny mudslide" these are the ingredients:

** Disclaimer: It still isn't "skinny" -- when you add up all the calories it is way more than I care to mention, but significantly less than the original.** 

Put all of it in a martini shaker!

1/2 cup crushed ice

1 oz. vodka

1 oz. Kahlua (I recently tried the Vanilla Kahlua - yum!)

1 oz. Bailey's 

4 oz. skim milk (more or less to taste)

Shake the hell out of the ingredients...the foamier the better!

Enjoy. 

You don't need the chocolate syrup! But if you must, find a sugar free version. 

Ok, ok...here's the calorie count:

1 oz of vodka = 56 calories

1 oz of Kahlua = 91 calories

1.3 oz of Bailey's = 94

4 oz of skim milk = 43

Grand total = 284
