Cream Soda Recipes
Authentic Cream Soda Recipes From The Days Of The Marble Soda Fountain
Sponsored Links
Cream soda recipes are one of the oldest soda fountain recipes. Since the early 1800s, it had become the common practice for pharmacists to add fountain syrup -- vanilla was the favorite flavor -- and a tablespoonful of thick, sweet cream to soda water, and the "cream soda" as it was called became very well liked.
Sweet cream may be added to almost any soda beverage if you want to re-create a traditional cream soda. After making your favourite soda with fountain syrup and chilled soda water, simply add a tablespoonful, or two, of unwhipped whipping cream to the glass. Fountain syrups such as chocolate, vanilla, and coffee go great with cream. Give it a very brief stir and you have a historic treat dating from the early days of the marble soda fountain. Serve it in a tall fountain glass with a couple of soda straws.
Instead of soda water and fountain syrup, you may substitute your favorite flavor of soda pop, but be forewarned, not all brand-name soda flavors will taste good with cream. As a rule of thumb, though, any soda flavor that tastes good with ice cream will usually taste okay with just cream added.
If you're looking for easy non-alcoholic drink recipes, these vintage cream soda recipes are unique. Treat your guests to old-time soda fountain beverages.
