A collection of 70 recipes celebrating the history and stories of the classic American soda fountain from one of the most-celebrated revival soda fountains in the country, Brooklyn Farmacy.
A century ago, soda fountains on almost every Main Street in America served as the heart of the community, where folks shared sundaes, sodas, ice cream floats, and the news of the day. A quintessentially American institution, the soda fountain still speaks of a bygone era of innocence and ease. When Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain opened its doors in 2010, it launched a revival of this great American original, capturing the hearts of a new generation.
Featuring abundant full-color photography and vintage illustrations and advertisements, The Soda Fountain explores a rich history—from the origins of seltzer in the nineteenth century, through the transformation of soda during Prohibition and the Depression years, right up to today’s fountain renaissance. Featured recipes range from classics like the Purple Cow and Cherry Lime Rickey to contemporary innovations that have made Brooklyn Farmacy famous, like The Sundae of Broken Dreams (topped with caramel sauce and broken pretzel bits) and Makin’ Whoopie! Sundae (with hot fudge and mini chocolate whoopie cakes).
Recreating beloved treats like egg creams and milkshakes with local, seasonal, and artisanal ingredients, Gia Giasullo and Peter Freeman, the sibling cofounders of Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain, teach you how to resurrect the proud American soda fountain tradition at your own kitchen counter. With its fascinating anecdotes, mouth-watering pictures and easy-to-follow steps,this nostalgic cookbook proves that the soda fountain is a culinary and cultural institution that continues to delight.

Great Look At Americana Boy it would have been great to be back in the days when pharmacy’s were also soda fountains and you could get a quick sandwich– this is designed beautifully and best of all features some great ice cream recipes. A fantastic book well worth it’s price.
Excellent organic recipes of soda fountains, syrups and more from Brooklyn Farmacy This book is a revival of the soda fountains that occurred during the Prohibition years. A man who was on a mission to open a soda fountain shop that introduces how to make a egg cream and many other favorites making his own organic syrups, fudge sauces and other baked goods to the public. Excellent book how the history of the soda jerk and soda fountain came to be from the 1890s to 1940s. When you are in New York, visit Brooklyn Farmacy and experience the drinks, history and the food…
Interesting little book Good book, has a couple cool things to back up other mixology/soda fountain references I have. Canât complain other than itâs a ex library book and they loved stamps and stickers.
