Variations of the ice cream soda are as countless as the varieties of soda and flavors of ice cream, but some have become more prominent over the years than others. Sometimes, people who are allergic to milk use sherbet instead of ice cream. You can also use our Italian Lemon Ice for a fat-free version.
Chocolate Ice Cream Soda
The definitive ice cream soda starts with approximately one ounce of chocolate syrup, then several scoops of vanilla ice cream in a tall glass. Unflavored carbonated water is added until the glass is filled and the resulting foam rises above the top of the glass.
Root beer float
Also known as a “black cow” or “brown cow”, the root beer float is traditionally made with vanilla ice cream and root beer, but can also be made with other flavors.
A “root beer float” has strictly vanilla ice cream; a float made with root beer and chocolate ice cream is a “chocolate cow” or a “brown cow.”
Boston cooler
The origin of the Boston cooler lays in Detroit, Michigan, the city in which Fred Sanders is credited with inventing the ice cream soda. The name almost certainly has no connection to Boston, Massachusetts, where the beverage is virtually unknown. One theory is that it was named after Detroit’s Boston Boulevard, the main thoroughfare of what was then an upper-class neighborhood a short distance from James Vernor’s drugstore.
It is known that by the 1880s the Boston cooler was being served in Detroit, made with the local Vernors, an intense golden ginger ale, unlike most modern dry ginger ales. Originally, a drink called a Vernors Cream was served as a shot or two of sweet cream poured into a glass of Vernors golden ginger ale. Later, vanilla ice cream was substituted for the cream as a Vernors float. Unlike a float however, a Boston Cooler is blended like a thick milk shake.
Snow White
The Snow White is made with 7 Up or Sprite and vanilla ice cream.
Coke float
Coca-Cola brand sodas and vanilla ice cream.
Purple cow
In the context of ice cream soda, a purple cow is vanilla ice cream in purple grape soda.
Sherbet float
It is also possible to make a float using any kind of sherbet (lime, orange, raspberry, or rainbow are often most popular) and ginger ale, vault, or sprite.
Old fashioned Red Pop float is always a favorite. Some of the other featured flavor floats at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs include: Black Cherry, Coke, Grape, Dr. Pepper, Vault, Sprite, Cherry Coke, & Blue Dew.
