Vintage Ice Cream Soda !

Vintage Parfait Glasses @ Time’s Tin Cup !

How many here have sat at a vintage counter and had soda from a fountain?

A chocolate egg cream is a very, very simple beverage, but it’s difficult to make just right. It was traditionally made in soda fountains of old. There, the soda jerk would pour milk into a tall glass; then shoot a concentrated jet of highly pressurized seltzer into it, creating a violent collision that would froth and aerate the milk. This would form the drink’s signature white foam cap.

The jerk would drizzle in the chocolate syrup in a thin stream, cutting a small hole through the white foam cap without damaging it, and quickly spin a spoon underneath that upper foam to blend the chocolate with the frothing milk below. The result is a drink with a visible divide between the pure white foam cap and the lightly chocolate below.

Ingredients

2 oz whole milk

2 T plus 1 C chilled seltzer

2 to 3 T chocolate syrup

Directions: In a cocktail shaker, add 1 ice cube along with the milk and 2 tablespoons seltzer. Seal shaker, then shake vigorously.

Open shaker, remove ice cube with a spoon, then pour foamed milk into a tall serving glass. Add enough remaining seltzer to fill the glass to the top. Slide a spoon down into glass, then pour in the chocolate syrup in a thin stream so that it passes through the white foam without disrupting it much. Stir well to combine the chocolate syrup with the milk/seltzer mixture.
