This is a drink Mom and Dad grew up on in Brooklyn NY. Used to be that every corner had a soda shop. The term "Soda Jerk" originated from the guy who would serve up the fountain drinks. Funny thing is, there is no eggs or cream in this drink. Here is the simple recipe to make this fantastic concoction.
In a 16 ounce glass, (Not plastic) pour 1 1/2 inches colod milk (Whole milk works best) 1 inch of chocolate syrup (Do not mix) pour seltzer water into the middle of the glass about an inch from the top. Take a metal spoon and mix the contents of the glass without disturbing the foam on top. the drink should look like chocolate milk with white foam on top. Enjoy.
This drink does not last long so drink right away.
PS...You can make a vanilla egg cream as well using vanilla syrup.
I thought you had to show your senior citizen card to buy seltzer water...
