HOW TO MAKE AN OLD-FASHIONED CHOCOLATE SODA



How to Make an Old-fashioned Chocolate Soda image

To create a perfect Old-fashioned Chocolate Ice Cream Soda, it takes only three ingredients - ice cream, club soda, and chocolate syrup - and a little finesse!

Provided by Renee

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2-3 scoops vanilla ice cream
6-8 ounces club soda
2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Drop one scoop of vanilla ice cream into the bottom of a tall soda-style glass (16 to 20 ounces) glass. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup on top.
  • Use a long-handled spoon to mash and mix the ice cream and chocolate syrup together, until they have become a sort of chocolate ice cream slurry.
  • Now comes the tricky part: Using the soda spoon, slowly stir the ice cream-chocolate mixture with one hand, while at the same time very slowly pouring the club soda into the glass with your other hand. Continue adding club soda until the glass is about three-fourths full. (Don't fill it all the way or it will overflow.) Taste the soda to make sure it's chocolaty enough for you. (If not, just stir in a little additional chocolate syrup.)
  • Finish it all off by adding a scoop of ice cream to the soda glass, and then mount a second scoop to the rim, sidecar style.Top it off with one last splash of club soda, pop in a straw and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ice cream. The better the ice cream, the better the soda will be. Look for ice cream that is made with fresh, natural ingredients and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Use cold soda. Warm soda will make the ice cream melt too quickly. Chill the soda in the refrigerator or freezer before using it.
  • Add flavorings to taste. You can add a variety of flavorings to your ice cream soda, such as chocolate syrup, fruit syrups, or extracts. Be creative and experiment with different flavors until you find one that you like.
  • Top it off with whipped cream and a cherry. Whipped cream and a cherry are the classic toppings for an ice cream soda. They add a touch of sweetness and creaminess that takes the soda to the next level.

Conclusion:

An ice cream soda is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give an ice cream soda a try. You won't be disappointed!
