NEW YORK EGG CREAM

Steps:

• Pour 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and 1/4 cup of milk or half-and-half into a 16-ounce glass. While beating vigorously with a fork, slowly add club soda until the glass is almost full. Add a straw and serve very cold.

CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM

Steps:

• I find using melted ice cream with milk and chocolate sauce adds extra flavor and richness to an egg cream. I drank these as a kid and really found them to be the perfect blend of sweet and bubbly. I come from a house where my father would keep the champagne for New Years in the freezer until we were ready to drink it. There were always little ice chips in it and I have really grown to love ice cold drinks of any kind. This recipe is no different. For me, all of the ingredients have to be very cold for optimum results.
• Pour the syrup into the bottom of a glass. Add the skim milk and stir to blend slightly. Add the seltzer.;
• In a small bowl, combine and whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt with the water and vanilla extract. Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until the ingredients meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Refrigerate. Use as needed.

CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM

Steps:

• In a small cup, mix together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the water and stir well until a paste is formed. Set aside.
• Put the milk into a tall fountain glass. Slowly add the seltzer water. Stir gently. Drizzle the chocolate syrup in slowly, being careful to disturb the foam as little as possible. Stir gently with a tall spoon. Your drink should be 2-toned, chocolate-brown on the bottom with a white foam on top.
• Serve with a pretzel rod.

CHERRY-CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM

Steps:

• In a large, liquid measuring cup, combine the cherry syrup, condensed milk, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Divide the mixture into 2 pint-sized drinking glasses. Working with one glass at a time, add half of the milk and stir with a long spoon. Mix vigorously and assertively as you pour the seltzer in, stopping when you're an inch from the top the glass. Continue stirring until you have a nice layer of foam. Repeat with the second egg cream. Garnish with Candied Cherries on a skewer balanced on the glass and drink immediately.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add the cherries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cardamom, orange juice and 3 cups water. Cook until the sugars are dissolved and the syrup comes to a light boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to an hour, until the syrup is thick and the cherries are a deep red. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Remove the cardamom pods and discard.
• Add the almond extract to the mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the cherries, with syrup, to a large glass jar (or several small) and seal with an airtight lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.
