Transport yourself to the heart of New York nostalgia with this classic Brooklyn Egg Cream recipe—a fizzy, frothy delight that’s indulgent yet surprisingly simple to make in just 5 minutes. This timeless beverage requires only three ingredients: creamy whole milk, effervescent seltzer water, and decadent chocolate syrup, blending together into a silky, cloud-like drink that’s both refreshing and rich. With no eggs or cream despite its name, this soda fountain favorite is a whimsical nod to the past, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings without being overly heavy. Serve it ice-cold in a tall glass for an authentic experience, and watch as its signature airy foam makes every sip a treat to remember. Perfect for brunch, afternoon snacks, or an indulgent pick-me-up, this iconic drink is sure to become a household favorite.
Chill a tall glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to ensure your drink stays cold.
Pour the whole milk into the chilled glass, filling it about halfway.
Slowly add the seltzer water to the milk, pouring gently down the side of the glass to maintain a fizzy texture. The liquid should bubble and froth as you pour.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the milk and seltzer mixture.
Use a long spoon to stir the drink vigorously, combining the ingredients until you achieve a foamy, creamy top with a rich chocolate flavor throughout.
Serve immediately with a straw or enjoy straight from the glass.
