SeltzerFest 2025 is set for March 16, coinciding with National Egg Cream Day. The event features the National Egg Cream Invitational, where soda jerks compete for the Golden Siphon award. Last year's winner, Franklin Fountain, used an innovative twist with egg yolks. The egg cream, a classic NYC beverage from the 1890s, is crafted with chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer, traditionally enjoyed fresh. This year's participants include various NYC establishments, showcasing their unique takes on this beloved drink.
At this year's SeltzerFest, soda jerks from across the country will compete for the prestigious Golden Siphon award at the National Egg Cream Invitational, celebrating the iconic NYC treat.
The egg cream, which actually contains no egg or cream, consists of chocolate syrup, milk, and seltzer, dating back to the 1890s in NYC's soda fountain culture.
Last year, Franklin Fountain from Philadelphia impressed judges by incorporating actual egg yolks into their egg cream, showcasing the dynamic nature of this classic beverage.
The enduring appeal of the egg cream lies in its handmade nature, creating a foamy, creamy drink that must be enjoyed immediately after preparation to appreciate its uniqueness.
