Ingredients
- 3/4 cup club soda
- 4 oz flavored syrup
- 2 oz heavy cream
- 1/2 cup ice cream
- 4 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 maraschino cherry
Instructions
- Add base: Pour club soda, flavored syrup, and heavy cream into a 16 oz glass.
- Mix well: Stir gently until combined.
- Add ice cream: Drop in 2 scoops of ice cream.
- Top it off: Add a dollop of whipped cream and finish with a maraschino cherry.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy while cold and bubbly.
Notes
- Use well-chilled ingredients for the creamiest texture and the longest-lasting carbonation.
- Add the ice cream slowly to help control the foam and prevent the soda from overflowing.
- Any flavored syrup can be used, but vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry create the most traditional soda fountain flavors.
- This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after assembling, while the soda is still fully carbonated and the ice cream is just beginning to soften.
- Whipped cream and a maraschino cherry are optional, but they give the finished drink its classic soda fountain presentation.
