Ingredients

Method

  1. Put into a tumbler about two tablespoonfuls of broken ice, two tablespoonfuls of chocolate syrup, three tablespoonfuls of whipped cream, one gill of milk, and half a gill of soda-water from a syphon bottle, or Apollinaris water.
  2. Stir well before drinking.
  3. A tablespoonful of vanilla ice-cream is a desirable addition.
  4. It is a delicious drink, even if the soda or Apollinaris water and ice-cream be omitted.
  5. A plainer drink is made by combining the syrup, a gill and a half of milk, and the ice, shaking well.
