Blackberry Cream Soda Recipe

This recipe was inspired by a classic egg cream. We know, we know: The formula for a true egg cream contains no cream at all—just milk—but the tartness of the blackberry syrup requires that cream be used here; anything else will curdle. Feel free to adjust our proportions to make a soda that suits your tastes.
This recipe was featured as part of our Cooking with Summer Ingredients story.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup Blackberry Syrup
- 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup cold soda water
INSTRUCTIONS
In a tall glass, add blackberry syrup, followed by cream. Top with cold soda water, stir gently with a straw, and enjoy.
Well, I would mix the recommended ingredients FIRST and do my carbonation as the final stage. The ingredients premixed could be stored in a beverage dispenser commonly used for tea in the fridge. You could fill individual serving bottles, cap them with Fizz Giz caps (www.FizzGiz.com) and carbonate them on-the-fly. The level of carbonation is better achieved that way. If you add ingredients to prepared seltzer water, a great deal of foaming occurs. This results in loss of carbonation level. So, prepare the beverage first - then carbonate.
If you really want to buy syrup Ribena syrup sold at loblaws is sort close- it is BLACKCURRANT but already done.
I think a 500ml? bottle is around $6or7?
I even saw some at Walmart a little while ago for under $5 as I'm guessing no one there wanted to buy it.
Sounds good!
I usualy like to add crushed berries to my soda. But have never seen actual blackberries at a grocery store around here...
You don't buy the blackberry syrup, at least not the one mentioned in this recipe. It's a link to another recipe, you make the syrup yourself. If anything in an ingredients list is blue, most likely it's a link to another recipe.
I agree, and where do you even buy blackberry syrup? Sounds good though =)
add less cream caus then it woud taste more like a soda
it would probably be better if you throw it in the blender w/some ice...
