Growing up, Mom and I liked making root beer floats or brown cows (Coke), either of which required good vanilla ice cream - preferably "French Vanilla". However, my very favorite fountain drink ever has been a chocolate phosphate. It's basically good quality chocolate syrup poured into a soda glass followed by a powerful addition of seltzer water under pressure. Dad and I liked them so much that Dad bought a hand-held soda syphon so that we could make them at home! (My Daddy loved me.) It is nothing like an egg cream...which I found out the hard way when a server in a CT restaurant tried to convince me was similar. If I try getting another one up here, I'll have to order an egg cream minus the cream.
Hmm, we don't own a Soda Stream. I wonder if those would work for making chocolate phosphates...
Anyway, what were your favorite summertime ice cream drinks when you were young? And even now when you're not so young...
