icecream soda

Fountain drink classic

An ice cream soda is a cold drink made by combining carbonated water, flavored syrup, and a scoop of ice cream.

The soda fizzes around the ice cream as it melts, creating a sweet, creamy beverage.

Classic versions use chocolate or vanilla syrup: She ordered a chocolate ice cream soda at the diner.

Also spelled ice-cream soda or icecream soda.
