Classic Brooklyn Egg Cream Soda

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

2 ounces (55 ml) chilled whole milk

2 tablespoons (30 ml) chilled seltzer, plus more for topping up (about 1 cup; 235 ml total)

2 to 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup, preferably Fox's U-Bet brand

Directions

In a cocktail shaker, add 1 ice cube along with the milk and 2 tablespoons seltzer. Seal shaker, then shaker briefly but vigorously.

Open shaker, remove ice cube with a spoon, then pour foamed milk into a tall serving glass. Add enough remaining seltzer to fill the glass to the top. Slide a spoon down into glass, then pour in the chocolate syrup in a thin stream so that it passes through the white foam without disrupting it much. Stir well to combine the chocolate syrup with the milk-seltzer mixture, being careful not to disturb the white foamy top much. Serve right away.
