One of my favorites. Tastes great and helps keep weight on too.
In a large blender add about 1/2 from a gallon of (I prefer french vanilla ice cream, but others will work) you will have lots of ice cream in the blender, just keep mashing it down. Then add about 5 jiggers of Kahlua and blend until thick, creamy, and smooth.
Its enough for about 4 people, but I use one large glass and drink it all.

I have found I really like this one, however there are many.
The Brandy Alexander is great too. Same blender full of french vanilla ice cream about 4 jiggers of brandy and 4 jiggers of dark cream de coco. (The dark 'the dark cream de coco,' I think makes a better taste, but you can use light if you prefer.

A Golden Cadillac is heaven. Same blender full of ice cream and about 4 jiggers of Galiano, and in this case light creme de coco makes for a prettier drink. (not dark but light golden)

plenty of great ice cream drinks out there! I myself don't care for mint, but grasshoppers can be made the same, full blender of ice cream, 4 jiggers of green creme de menthe, light cream de coco.

All these should serve about 4 people a nice pretty ice cream drink, but please remember one can have it all to themselves 'if they want'
I am usually alone so I drink the entire blender full. (The liquor is light and with the ice cream I have never had a ill after effect)

Thorsen I know what you mean about those delicious fruit drinks, great but do make one feel under the table. (even a few days)
I do remember a cruise we went on to the Bahamas' and they kept coming up to us with these beautiful wonderful tasting drinks, right out on the deck. The day had been long and we had not eaten. (then the cruise ship said all meals had been served, but we could still eat (someplace) as they knew some had not eaten all day.
My friend Melody and I were lost on the ship anyway. The pretty drinks, were going down so well. I do remember telling one of the guys bringing them around, (OH, I believe I should eat before any more)
He really did not understand English and looked at me, smiled and said 'Thank you very much" so I signed the ticket and took the delicious drink.

By the time husbands found us 'Melody and I were pretty much an embarrassment to them and the whole ship'
When one drinks like that they have zero desire to eat.
OH Woe. I really tried and wanted to see a comedy show that night. Melody took a Nap in which she woke up the next day. I was determined to see that show, and woe more embarrassment. I fell asleep and poor Hubby had to carry me out and to our cabin.
Needless to say Melody and I remember little of our first day on the cruise ship.

Years later when we went to Alaska. I drank lots of 'hot coco' and very few 'ship speciality' drinks.
(I was much more interested in whale watching, wildlife watching, the rain forest, wild water rafting, and I helped and elderly lady at all times. (I believe she thought I was staff) She would even tell her family 'Thats the lady that helps me" Oh she was such a delight and I enjoyed doing for her.
I think she (they) were from Borneo. She was tiny, with wonderful 'corn rowed hair, festive, long wrap dresses, very elderly, and could not see much, but I loved to get to help her.
Now that was a cruise, anybody can do the Bahamas' but give me Alaska any time!

OH Woe there I rattled on and on again. ?
Oh Six

Ann if you had any idea how tired I get of every commercial I see on TV is about losing weight. I DO find it discriminatory against people and there are plenty of us that have a hard time keeping weight on. (I eat like a horse and its still not easy) (over 3000 calories a day)
I get so angry to get e-mail spam telling me how they can help me lose weight. (I answered one asking them if they were trying to kill me but it bounced back) I do get tired of hearing I lost 8 dress sizes, I lost 50 pounds I lost 85 pounds. heck a few months back I was lucky to weigh 85 pounds. We have problems too and not one company addresses our problems except to call us anorexic and sick and this is 'NOT ' the case.
It is not fair at all.
I don't condemn the weight loss adds, but I have never seen one 'NOT ONE' that tells one let us help you gain weight. I have found several sites of people like me so tired of it and its like we don't even exist?

OK I won't put any more fattening foods on, and yes the Brandy Alexander is yummy.
oh six
