This simple beverage combines cold whole milk, chocolate syrup, and seltzer water to make a frothy, fizzy, soda-fountain-style drink. The magic lies in its texture: a light foam on top, creamy middle, and bubbly finish—served in a tall glass, it’s the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup cold whole milk

  • 1 cup cold seltzer (unflavored, highly carbonated)

  • 3 tablespoons high-quality chocolate syrup (such as Fox’s U-bet or homemade)

Instructions

Step 1: Pour the Milk

In a tall chilled glass, pour in ½ cup of cold whole milk. Make sure the milk is very cold—it helps with frothing and flavor.

Step 2: Add the Seltzer

Slowly pour in 1 cup of cold seltzer, letting it hit the side of the glass to create a light foam on top. The foam should rise close to the rim.

Step 3: Stir in the Chocolate Syrup

Without disturbing the foam too much, gently pour 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup down the inside of the glass.

Now stir gently but firmly with a long spoon, mixing the chocolate into the milk and seltzer without breaking the foam on top. The drink should be well combined, but still frothy.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

Serve right away with a straw or long spoon. The drink is best when the foam is fresh and fizzy.
