ICE CREAM SODASList Item 1
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 it 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.
The possible combinations for ice cream sodas are unlimited. Here are a few standard fountain recipes:
Black and white
Chocolate syrup, seltzer, and vanilla ice cream
Bodacious Black and White
Chocolate syrup, seltzer, and French vanilla ice cream
Canary Island Special
Vanilla syrup, seltzer, and chocolate ice cream (also called "White & Black")
Strawberry Soda
1/4 cup strawberry syrup, a splash of milk, seltzer and vanilla or strawberry ice cream
The Maui
1/2 cup pineapple syrup, a splash of milk, seltzer, and chocolate ice 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 here 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 a 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 thoroughly 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!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup milk
(whole milk or half and half for best separation into layers)
2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup
(preferably a thin one; Fox's U-Bet brand is preferred, available from us)
2/3 glass chilled seltzer
Directions:
- Pour the milk into a large soda fountain glass.
- Add the chocolate syrup and stir gently, blending (leave some unblended chocolate at the 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 tingling and a higher head, use 1/4 cup milk and 3/4 cup seltzer.
- For a richer egg cream, use half milk and half seltzer.

Antique Bottles from Seltzer Sisters
Seltzer Sisters is proud to offer these unique and beautiful seltzer bottles. These bottles are antiques and sometimes difficult to keep in stock; some of them are truly one-of-a-kind. We are sorry, but we cannot guarantee that all bottles will always be in stock. We suggest you call ahead to verify availability. We are happy to reserve bottles for you with a deposit.
These bottles are not typical of our route delivery bottles, which are standard-sized. We recommend using these antique bottles for display rather than for dispensing seltzer water. Click on each image to enlarge.
