Old-Time Soda Fountain Fizz Recipes For Making Refreshing Beverages

You simply must try old time Fizz recipes. Fizzes are made from citric-acid syrups like lemon, pineapple, and so on, but usually with lime juice, and served while effervescing.

The unique "fizz" effect is gained after shaking by injecting or pouring the carbonated water in a series of quick dashes, or by the addition of a little bit of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda). There's no doubt about it, fizzes are delicious!

Sometimes the old-time soda fountain operator added an egg to the regular soft drink recipe to add richness to the beverage and to hold the effervescence longer. If the white of an egg is added to the mixture and the beverage is shaken, it becomes a "Silver Fizz." If an egg yolk is used and the drink is shaken, it becomes a "Golden Fizz."

Enjoy an old-time fizz beverage today!

Fizz Recipes

These old-time fizz recipes are taken from "The Dispenser's Formulary or Soda Water Guide" compiled by the editorial staff of The Soda Fountain, published by D. O. Haynes & Co., New York, in 1915.

Carbonated water (soda water) can be found in the soft drink section of most food stores.

Cherry Fizz
1-1/2 ounces cherry syrup, juice of 1/2 lemon (1/2 ounce). Squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon in cherry syrup in mixing glass half full of carbonated water. Strain into 12-ounce glass, add a little sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) from end of spoon and fill glass with carbonated water. Price--10 ounces, 10 cents.

Resolution Fizz
1-1/2 ounces cherry syrup, 1/2 ounce lemon juice. Pour into a mixing glass half full of cracked ice, stir well, strain into a fancy glass which has previously been filled about one-third full of fine ice, add a little sodium bicarbonate (soda water) on the end of a spoon, stir well, add a slice of lemon and orange, or a cherry and a slice of orange. Price--10 ounces, 10 cents.

Crown Prince Fizz
Into a 12-ounce glass put: 2 ounces strawberry syrup, 1 ounce orange syrup, juice of half a lemon, 1/4 glassful shaved ice. Shake, strain, and fill with carbonated water. Price 10 cents for 10 ounces. --Martin S. Meyer

Festival Fizz
1/8 ounce lemon juice, 1 ounce pineapple syrup, 1 dash Angostura bitters, enough shaved ice. Place in glass, fill with carbonated water, top off with a slice of orange and cherries, and serve with spoon and straws. Price--10 ounces, 10 cents.

Silver Tonique Fizz
Fill glass half full of shaved ice, add white of 1 egg, 3 spoonfuls powdered sugar, 3 dashes Angostura bitters, 4 dashes lime juice. Shake well, pour into 12-ounce bell-top glass, and fill with soda water in short dashes to make fizz.

Prairie Moon Beverage Syrups

When the old-time fizz recipes call for flavoring syrups, you can save yourself time and money by using Rio brand syrup concentrates from Prairie Moon. I highly recommend them.

These quality fountain syrups come in over 50 popular flavors, including all the old fashioned soda fountain favorites like sarsaparilla, vanilla, cherry, chocolate, coffee, ginger ale, root beer, cola, lemon, maraschino cherry, banana, orange, pineapple, raspberry, and strawberry. Simply add water and your own sugar or sweetener to the concentrate. It couldn't be easier.

Prairie Moon also has an affordable selection of authentic, old-time soda glasses that are perfect for serving your fizz beverages.
