I had a fantastic White Russian at Type-A conference last month, but how about a delicious and simple low-calorie version of that classic drink?  Yes, please!

You can’t say nyet to this slimmed-down version of a White Russian

1 1/2 ounces Vodka
1 1/2 ounces Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
3 ounces skim milk, 2% milk, or soy or almond milk

Combine the vodka, coffee liqueur and milk with ice in a cocktail shaker, and shake well.  Strain over fresh ice in a rocks glass.

Now that’s an after-dinner decadence I don’t have to feel guilty about!

The tips in the book are great, like filling your glass up with ice because as the ice melts the extra water will help keep you hydrated.  With the holidays coming up, this book will help you keep the calories down and you’ll still be able to have a cocktail or two without adding extra holiday pounds!
