We just tried out our brand new geography glasses<\/a>, by mixing up a local Brooklyn treat in a New York City glass.<\/p>\n

You can make your own egg cream with just a few simple steps, or share your local drink recipe below<\/a> for a chance to win a $25 UncommonGoods gift card.<\/p>\n

Step One: Ingredients
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nGather together milk, seltzer, and chocolate syrup. And a special New York City glass<\/a> to mix them in!<\/p>\n

Note: Many Brooklynites insist that an egg cream just isn’t worth drinking without the original Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup. I’m making do with Bosco’s, so if you’re a native New Yorker reading this post, please forgive me!<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 2: The Syrup
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nDrizzle a layer of chocolate syrup into your glass.<\/p>\n

Step 3: The Milk
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nCover the first layer of syrup with a generous splash of milk.<\/p>\n

Step 4: The Seltzer
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFill the rest of your glass with seltzer.<\/p>\n

Tip: Keep your drink from fizzing over by pouring the seltzer over a spoon.<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 5: The Egg Cream
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nStir and enjoy!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now it’s your turn! If you’ve got a drink recipe from your area, whether it’s southern sweet tea or Long Island Iced Tea, share it with us for a chance to win a $25 gift card.
