Egg Cream (Non-Alcoholic)

This non-alcoholic chocolate drink tries to imitate the way egg drinks fizz up with a protein-rich foam. There's actually no egg in this mocktail. What you will find is chocolate syrup, milk and club soda.

Now before you write off any milk and soda drink, keep in mind how good cream soda actually is. This just happens to be a chocolate flavored cream soda, not a vanilla flavored one.

The effect is good and the taste takes me back to childhood when bottled fizzy chocolate drinks were available at the drugstore or soda fountain.

• 1 oz. chocolate syrup
• 3 1/2 oz. chilled milk
• chilled seltzer or club soda

Combine milk and chocolate syrup in a Collins glass and stir to combine evenly. Top with seltzer and stir until a frothy foam head appears.
