"Our recipe for a coffee lover's egg cream takes the old-school soda fountain treat and gives it a caffeinated twist. It's got all the nostalgic charm of the original, along with rich espresso flavor and a wholly grown-up bitter kick. Despite its name, a traditional New York egg cream has neither eggs nor cream. Instead, it's got sticky-sweet chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer water for a drink that has body, sweetness, and a tall head of frothy bubbles."
"To make our coffee-loaded egg cream, you'll need a good chocolate syrup - we recommend Fox's U-Bet - a chilled, strongly brewed espresso, whole milk, and your favorite seltzer. A dash of cacao bitters and a sprinkle of cocoa powder complete our grown-up coffee adaptation. The beauty of this drink lies in how quickly it comes together. With a short prep window, easy-to-find ingredients, and only the need for a bit of vigorous stirring,"
A coffee egg cream adapts the classic New York egg cream by adding chilled, strongly brewed espresso and cacao bitters to the traditional chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer base. The original egg cream contains no eggs or cream and is defined by sticky-sweet chocolate syrup, milk, and a tall head of frothy bubbles. The modern version emphasizes rich espresso flavor and a bitter note from cocktail bitters while retaining nostalgic texture and sweetness. Ingredients include a quality chocolate syrup (Fox's U-Bet recommended), whole milk, well-chilled seltzer, and an optional cocoa powder garnish. Preparation is quick and requires vigorous stirring to create the frothy head.
