Authentic Puff Recipes From The Days Of Pharmacy Soda Fountains

Cream Puff

One-half ounce of ice cream beat up with 1 ounce of a favorite syrup; then slowly fill the glass with carbonated water. An ounce of softened ice cream is then put in around the top of the glass by using a silver tablespoon. This piles the thick creamy soda mixture up in the center. Price, 10 cents.

Strawberry Puff

Pour into a punch bowl and cover partly with very stiff whipped cream. Drop a few strawberries on the cream. Serve 2 ounces of the syrup in a soda glass, and fill to nearly full with soda water, using the fine stream. Top off with whipped cream and a strawberry. Price--10 ounce glass, 10 cents.
