BLACK COW

Name: BLACK COW
Ingredients: 1 cup Ice cubes (Originally 'Lump Ice'. Quantity estimated to fill a large glass.); 3 ounces Heavy cream (Originally '2 jiggers'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 oz).); 1 bottle Sarsaparilla soda (or Root Beer) (Originally '1 bottle Sarsaparilla'. Use a standard 8-12 oz bottle of sarsaparilla or root beer.)

This vintage soda fountain classic, known as the Black Cow, offers a creamy and refreshing twist on the traditional root beer float. By blending rich heavy cream directly with effervescent sarsaparilla soda, the drink achieves a velvety texture and a complex, herbal flavor profile that is both nostalgic and satisfying. Served over ice in a tall glass, it is the perfect indulgent treat for a warm afternoon.
