Ice Cream Sodas
Traditionally, an ice cream soda is made of carbonated water, flavoring, ice cream and possibly a nice dab of whipped cream.
Start with the chilled seltzer, filling to within 2 inches of the lip of the glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of syrup or flavoring.
Stir gently and leave a spoon and a straw in the glass.
Add 1 large scoop of very hard ice cream, straddling the rim of the glass while still submerging enough of the ice cream to begin reacting with the seltzer to create a foamy head.
If the ice cream is too deep in the seltzer, the soda will overflow.
Top the soda with a generous squirt of whipped cream.
Combinations for Ice Cream Sodas
The possible combinations for ice cream sodas are unlimited. Here are a few standard fountain recipes:
Black & White
Chocolate syrup, seltzer, vanilla ice cream.
Bodacious Black & White
Chocolate syrup, seltzer, French vanilla ice cream.
Canary Island Special

Craig's Favorite
Craig's Favorite
Add 1 part cold Cran-Grape Juice to 6 parts cold seltzer. You will still taste the great fruit flavor, but instead of 150 calories per 8 oz. serving of juice, there will be only 25 calories!

New York Egg Cream
This is the famous New York "Egg Cream," made with Fox's U-bet Chocolate Syrup. When made correctly, it's a beautiful drink and deserves its own architectural rendering, which we have conveniently provided here! Click on the thumbnail to see a full-sized graphic of this classic.
Pour 3 oz. of cold milk into a glass.
Pour 2 oz. of Fox's U-bet Chocolate Syrup, without stirring.
Place a spoon in the glass and spritz in cold seltzer over the spoon handle and/or into the sides of the glass (to reduce excess foam) until the foam reaches just below the rim of the glass.
Stir gently at first, then more vigorously until the foam head is stabilized and the syrup is mixed thoroughly.
The drink should settle into several shades of light and dark chocolate.
Bren's Egg Cream
Every authentic New Yorker will tell you that his or her recipe for Egg Cream is the BEST one. Bren, an avid customer, has provided one more recipe for the collection. And please send us YOUR favorite Egg Cream recipe and we'll print it next time!

Mint syrup in iced tea or lemonade
Now is the time to try our delicious Mint syrup, combined with all those fresh lemons in the market. When making iced tea or lemonade, try adding a half ounce of Mint syrup to your drink and you will feel like you' re in a southern town... enjoy!
Bren's Egg Cream - Ingredients
1/3 glass milk
Whole milk or half and half for best separation into layers.
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Preferably a thin one; Fox's U-bet brand is preferred, available from us.
2/3 glass chilled seltzer
Bren's Egg Cream - Directions
Pour the milk into a large soda fountain glass.
Add the chocolate syrup and stir gently, blending (leave some unblended chocolate at bottom of the glass - that's traditional!)
Slowly add the seltzer along the side of the glass and stir with your wrist. A foamy head will rise to the top.
Admire the color, and then drink immediately!
For more tingle and a higher head, use 1/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup of seltzer.
For a richer egg cream, use half milk and half seltzer.
