I love these…2 ounces of half and half, 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee, 1 ounce of good chocolate syrup, 1 packet of Sweet and Low and stir well. Top off with chilled black cherry seltzer and stir gently. Sometimes, in the warmer weather, I even put in a scoop of chocolate or vanilla ice cream to make an outstanding ice cream soda.

In 2006 I was in a very small town in Texas on a very hot day.I went into a restaurant just looking for a cold drink.The waitress said I have just the thing and she brought out a delicious egg cream.I never saw that on a menu outside the NY,NY,CT and PA area.

They are out there and very satisfying on a hot day. We had a deli with a soda fountain, now gone, just down the street from my house. They introduced me to the joys of egg creams and ice cream sodas long ago. They always served them with a cold seltzer chaser on the side. As Commander Schweppes once said, “Curiously refreshing!” We always called them “New York egg creams”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in my teens I would go with friends nearly every Sunday night to an ice cream parlor for an ice cream soda which cost a quarter and a seltzer which was free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the seltzer chaser! When I was a kid you could go to any soda fountain and get a milk shake for a quarter. If you added a scoop of ice cream the shake became a frappe and it cost ten cents more. Imagine…an ice cream frappe for 35 cents! Those were the days…sighhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratio is about 1/3 syrup and cream and 2/3 seltzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
