fill one of her straw cups with boring old water. Make it room temp if you can, lol.

Put about an inch of "the good stuff" (chocolate milk, strawberry milk, juice, whatever her favorite drink treat is) in the open-top cup. Offer her a choice.

Also, here's a thought...if she spills that much, perhaps she's just not ready for an open cup? How about giving her some dry rice/beans with cups and spoons and a little pitcher to play with, to practice pouring, etc. That might help her develop the skill.
