Ingredients
4
tbsp. of chocolate syrup
3/4
cup of seltzer water (must be very fizzy, open a new bottle for this)
1/2
pint premium chocolate ice cream
Directions
1.
Stir the milk and the chocolate syrup together in a pitcher.
2.
Add the seltzer water.
3.
When you pour in the seltzer water, the drink will get foamy, so be sure to use a large pitcher.
4.
Taste to make sure there is a nice balance between the sweetness of the chocolate milk and the bitterness the seltzer helps to bring out.
5.
Pour the soda into the serving glasses, filling each glass about 2/3 of the way full.
6.
Put two small scoops of ice cream in each glass. (To make the assembly process faster, if there's space in the freezer, you can pre-scoop the ice cream and freeze the scoops on wax-paper lined cookie sheets.)
7.
The mini-sodas can be garnished with homemade whipped cream, maraschino cherries, or even some sprinkles.
8.
At the party, I served mine with cut-out Christmas cookies.
