Ice Cream Sodas
From the book Barefoot Contessa Parties! by Ina Garten
Introduction
One year on the Fourth of July I decided that we had to grill hot dogs for lunch and have ice-cream sodas for dessert. Have lots of different syrups and ice creams on hand so guests are guaranteed their favorite flavors.
Ingredients
| ~ | Chocolate syrup (such as Hershey’s) | |
| ~ | Strawberry Syrup | |
| ~ | Pure vanilla extract | |
| ~ | Heavy cream, chilled | |
| ~ | Club soda or seltzer water, chilled | |
| ~ | Vanilla ice cream | |
| ~ | Strawberry ice cream | |
| ~ | Chocolate ice cream | |
| ~ | Coffee ice cream |
Steps
- Pour 3 tablespoons syrup or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract plus 3 tablespoons cream in a tall glass. Whisk with a fork, then slowly, while still whisking, add the club soda until the glass is three-quarters full. Add 2 scoops of ice cream, add soda to the top of the glass, and serve with a tall spoon and a straw.
