Ice Cream drinks!
With the hot weather I remembered the old classic of cola with ice cream in it - aka ice cream drinks
![]() Used to LOVE them when I was younger but tried to make one there with a bog standard can of pepsi with some ice cream scoops in and it never worked ![]() Anybody able to tell me how to make them properly please?

Admittedly a slightly gross name.

I tried McDonalds ice-cream in coke once...didn't work. i think the Cornish style vanilla ice-creams work best, |

Add a scoop of ice cream, or two to a tall glass, a good firm vanilla is best, Mr Softy style ice cream won't work. and pour over coke, irn bru, ginger beer, cream soda etc. That's all there is to it.

Maybe I did use too much ice cream then. Was a total let down lol
![]() Went dead watery and didn't taste so good. Was just your bog standard vanilla ice cream. |

I think you have to put the ice cream in first

The only one I used to like as a kid was with vanilla icecream and cream soda - one scoop only though and everything had to be very cold! Sometimes you'd add a dash of lime cordial as well and that was delicious!

*voms* It originated in New York City and includes chocolate syrup, some milk, and seltzer, which is simply carbonated water and nothing else (not tonic water, which is flavoured!).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cream If made properly it is delicious and actually quite refreshing. It should be very cold. The best way to describe it is cold chocolate milk with fizz. Making it on your own with seltzer from a bottle doesn't really work as it does from a fountain, as it was traditionally made, because you had more carbonation coming from the fountain, as you do today with automated fountains in fast food places for the process of mixing the syrup with the seltzer. The process of mixing, unless compensated for with extra carbonation, will simply release the carbon leading to a more flat/less fizzy drink. Not what you want with either the soda or the egg cream, though the egg creams I drank in New York were never as fizzy as a cold soda. The other reason for it having to be cold, all the ingredients that is, is that that also prevents much of the carbon from being released when mixed. It is key with American ice cream drinks that include soda that all the ingredients must be very cold or otherwise you have the problem, as I mentioned above, of much carbon being released. It's like putting ice into warm soda, the difference in temperature will cause it to fizz over releasing most of the carbon leading to a cold but flat soda. |

Try an ice cream soda of vanilla ice cream and grape soda. Delicious. Looks pretty too.

Perhaps you have to make with rubbishy, chemical-filled ice creams like we had in the 1950s and 1960s, and not with trendy modern high quality gourmet ice cream like we have now.

Spiders we call them in Australia, I have no idea why. The best one is vanilla ice-cream in Coke.

I don't think we get grape soda in the UK. I've never seen it. Anyone?
Though I've noticed round here it's sold more where there's a West Indian connection in the area. |
