Doc Windshadow Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 these sorts of drinks have different names in different parts of the US but I will use the names I learned to love them by they are of course similar to the father of this sort of thing the Soda float Purple Cow; 6 oz of Vanala Ice cream and 8 oz of grape soda mixed in a frappe machine (amount of Ice cream and soda in all these ro be adjusted till you can just barely suck the result through a straw a spoon should not be required Black Cow; the same but with Cola Brown Cow; done with root beer Orange Cow: Dito with Orange soda but there is a version done with Orange Sherbet and orange soda And of course variant to Chocolate milk... the simple Vanilla Milk which is just very cold whole milk wit a few shots of Vanilla sirup mixed in but these days you need to make your own Simple sirup and flavor with real vanilla extract to taste as the sirup is no longer sold in these parts those are some of my favorite variants other than the common 'shakes' (which today when sold by fast food outlet are concoctions of the chemists lab rather than what I coild by from the soda fountain when I was a kid... so what are your favorites from ye olde soda shop?

Alpo Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I think she called it a Gulf Breeze Cooler, but it was lime sherbet, Sprite and crushed ice, mixed in the blender. Kennedey's Drug Store, in Apalachicola, Florida. Had the only "real" soda fountain I've ever seen, in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No idea if it has a name, but a good ginger ale, or better, ginger beer, with pomegranate juice. About a 3:1 mix. Failing that, limeade with mint and fresh ginger. Add a splash of ginger beer or carbonated water, or even tonic water, for some fizz. I also like to fill a mason jar bout 1/3 of the way with ice, pour in cold coffee and ice cold milk, about 1:1, sweeten to taste. Put the lid on and shake like heck for a few minutes. Take lid off and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodine Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Cold dill pickles!!! Instant relief, and not loaded with sugar, which is actually bad for you in extreme heat because it makes your body work harder to process (not to mention what it does to the teeth and other parts of the body). The same applies to alcohol, made with lots of sugar. I know, not what ya wanted to hear, but that's the facts! Fresh squeezed Lemonade with a minimal amount of suger is a back-up.

I have enjoyed a Ginger Cow Made in Bermuda with Ginger Ice-cream and Goslings Ginger beer but they added a shot of Goslings Black Seal rum to it and garnished with a slice of lime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 RC Cola with spanish peanuts in the bottom of the bottle.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Remember soda fountain phosphates? A place out in Fontana made them up until a few years ago. So cold they'd almost crack your teeth. My favorites were double-double vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
