Suggestions for Making Chocolate Soda

+ We found stirring the carbonated water reduced the bubbly, soda like consistency. We recommend mixing the milk and chocolate syrup first until well-combine, then gently stir in the carbonated water.

+ Garnish with a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup, chocolate sprinkles, and/or a maraschino cherry.

+ This recipe perfectly fits an old fashion, 12oz fountain glass. If you are using a pint glass (16oz) or a large fountain glass, we recommend doubling the recipe.
