Original Bronx Egg Cream
Experience a taste of nostalgia with the Original Bronx Egg Cream, a fizzy and creamy beverage that's both simple to make and irresistibly satisfying. This iconic New York classic requires just three pantry staples—cold whole milk, chilled seltzer water, and decadent chocolate syrup—making it a perfect treat to whip up in minutes. The secret lies in its delightful contrasts: rich and velvety milk meets the lively effervescence of seltzer, all crowned with a frothy, milkshake-like head. Despite its name, this timeless drink contains no eggs or cream—just pure indulgence served in a tall glass. Enjoy it fresh with a straw or straight from the glass for an authentic soda fountain experience!

Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk (cold)
- 0.75 cup Seltzer water (chilled and fizzy)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
Instructions
Pour the cold whole milk into a tall glass, filling it up about one-third of the way.
Add the chocolate syrup to the milk and stir briskly with a spoon until completely mixed. The mixture should look smooth and chocolaty.
Slowly pour the chilled seltzer water into the glass, pouring against the side to maintain the fizz. The glass should fill up to about 3/4 full, leaving room for the foam to rise.
Using a long spoon, stir gently but quickly to blend the layers without destroying the bubbles. This will create a frothy head similar to the texture of a milkshake.
Serve immediately with a straw or sip it straight from the glass to enjoy the rich flavor and bubbly texture!
