I recently found Bosco coffee syrup. This thread is not about that. To mimic a very expensive (but well worth it) coffee soda a friend bought me, I also bought milk and seltzer. I was wondering what else might go well with seltzer. Obviously, various syrups go very well. I bought all natural cherry syrup (ingredients- cherries, water, sugar) from the Soviet market near me and the results were astounding. Then, it came to me.
What if I added a teaspoon of honey to a glass of seltzer? I thought to myself ‘The results must be terrible. Otherwise I would have heard about this before.’ I tried it anyway.
You need to stir an awful lot to thoroughly mix in the honey. The mixture is wonderful! Having brought the world Swedish Fish Salad, I can only wonder what I’ll come up with next.
I love seltzer on ice with lots of lemon and salt.
The best Seltzer drink is of course a New York Egg Cream, having neither egg nor cream to confuse people.
- Stir with a long spoon 2-3 tablespoons of Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup & 1/4 cup of milk into a 16 ounce glass.
- Then pour or best yet spritz the seltzer off the stirring spoon into the glass until a foamy head reaches the top of the glass.
- Give it a quick vigorous stir and enjoy.
And of course a red wine spritzer predates wine coolers by decades and is quite awesome.
I heartily agree!
I usually ignore celebrity rumors. But when I heard that Jerry Seinfeld has a case of U-Bet delivered to his house every month, I found it very believable.
I am now thinking I adore mead. Why not get myself a soda stream and carbonate mead?
Brew it yourself and you can customize. I’ve won myriad awards for Karen’s Downfall, my sparkling ginger mead. Quite refreshing over ice on a hot summer day. Sneaky, though (see the name!)
