Old-Time Frozen Drink Recipes For Making Totally Refreshing Drinks
Sponsored Links
Soda fountain operators used frozen drink recipes to make what they called Freezes. A "Freeze" is an ade drink or a punch in which the shaved ice is allowed to remain when serving; this gives the drink a very low temperature, hence, its name. Freezes are often served garnished with fresh fruit, a sprig of mint, and straws.
A "Smash" was very similar to a "Freeze" and generally made with fountain syrups of a rich, fruity flavor. Like Freeze recipes, Smash recipes also called for shaved ice and carbonated water. Smashes are traditionally served garnished with a sprig of mint in thin glasses with straws.

Frozen Drink RecipesThese old-fashioned Smash and Freeze 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.
