Not to be confused with Cadbury Creme Egg.
An egg cream[1] is a cold beverage consisting of milk, carbonated water, and flavored syrup (typically chocolate or vanilla), as a substitute for an ice cream float.[2] Ideally, the glass is left with 2⁄3 liquid and 1⁄3 foamy head.[3] Despite the name, the drink contains neither eggs nor cream.[4]

The egg cream is almost exclusively a fountain drink. Although there have been several attempts to bottle it, none have been wholly successful, as its refreshing taste and characteristic head require mixing of the ingredients just before drinking.
