This drink was inspired by an iconic NY Classic: the egg cream and the dirty soda trend: an intergenerational viral TikTok sensation that has swept GenZ and moms across the country, mostly in Utah, with beverage delight. The nostalgic familiarity of Pink House Alchemy’s Sarsaparilla syrup creates a unique and fun soda when combined with Hologram. Topped with the soft sweetness and subtle creaminess from the Strawberry oat milk, this silky spunky dairy-free beverage might have you singing “Strawberry Cream Soda forever.”
Ingredients
- Hologram espresso
- pH Alchemy Sarsaparilla Syrup
- pH Alchemy Strawberry Syrup (seasonal)
- Seltzer water
- Filtered water
- Oat milk (recipe developed using Minor Figures)
Hologram Soda
- 1 part Hologram espresso
- 1 part Pink House Alchemy Sarsaparilla Syrup
- 1.5 parts H20
- 1.5 parts seltzer
This is easy to batch or make as a single drink. For batching, we recommend chilling the espresso then combining it with the pH Sarsaparilla Syrup and water to make your “soda syrup.” When ready to drink or serve, combine this with the appropriate ratio of seltzer for the volume of cup you are serving in.
Strawberry Milk
- 1 part Strawberry Syrup
- 4 parts oat milk
Combine oat milk and pH Strawberry Syrup with a frother or in a blender to incorporate ingredients. This is not a cold foam, so it likely won't sit on top of drinks the way cold foam does but will have “iced latte energy.”
Instructions
- Add ice to a cup
- Fill cup just over ¾ full with Hologram Soda
- Top off with Strawberry Milk
