Ice cream sodas
Ice cream sodas
One of the oldest icecream parlors in my city serves 1 scoop of chocolate icecream, some whipped cream in a glass topped off with coca cola.
It's surprisingly good.
Their other soda is lemon/lime icecream with whipped cream, some ginger and topped with gingerale.
Excellent too especially on a warm day.
Thought I'd share as they can be easily made at home too.
The first i wouldn’t have thought to do chocolate. don’t know why, but vanilla is my go-to.
some other combinations ive recently had that i rather enjoyed were:
Tarragon soda with vanilla bean
Green Melon soda with vanilla
I absolutely love doing this with vanilla ice cream and various sodas. The classic is, of course, A&W root beer for floats. But orange soda, cream soda, Dr. pepper and even regular Cola flavours are all so yummy!
Where I came from, we actually put vanilla soft serve inside of Slurpees, Frosters, or other soda flavoured iced drink like a slush. We called them Screamers, because of how cold they were.
I used to work at dairy queen back I college. My coworker and I made a milkshake with a slushie as the base, and it was delicious. We thought we had come up with a great new invention until we told our manager and found out that it used to be something that they sold.
I'm glad I stopped by - it's been a while since I'd even thought of these "sodas" (we call(ed) them "floats" bc me mum).
Now I'm pining about 5 different types.
