Despite the name, the New York Egg Cream contains no eggs and no cream! This old-school Brooklyn favorite is a fizzy, chocolate-milk soda you can make in minutes. Light, refreshing, and nostalgic — it tastes like a chocolate milk float without the ice cream.
Ingredients (Servings: 1)
- 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (Fox’s U-Bet preferred)
- ½ cup cold whole milk
- ½–1 cup ice-cold seltzer water
👨🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Start with chocolate:
Pour chocolate syrup into the bottom of a tall glass.
2️⃣ Add the milk:
Pour in the cold milk and stir together thoroughly until well blended.
3️⃣ Add seltzer with speed:
While stirring briskly, slowly pour in the seltzer. The mixture will foam up on top — that’s exactly what you want.
4️⃣ Finish and serve:
Once the drink has a thick foamy head and a chocolate-milk base, stop stirring. Serve immediately before the foam settles.

- Fox’s U-Bet Chocolate Syrup – The authentic flavor.

💡 Helpful Tip:
The colder the milk and seltzer, the better the foam. Use a tall glass and add seltzer last to create the classic, frothy top.
