ice cream soda
Carbonated fountain treat
An ice cream soda is a drink made by adding ice cream to flavored soda water or syrup, creating a fizzy, creamy beverage.
The classic version combines chocolate or vanilla syrup with carbonated water and a scoop of ice cream.
Once a soda fountain staple, it's now mostly nostalgic: We shared an ice cream soda at the old-fashioned diner.
