Collection: Cream Sodas

Cream soda, also known as creme soda, is a generally flavored with vanilla and based on the taste of an ice cream soda.  

Alexander C. Howell, of Vienna, New Jersey, was granted a patent for "cream soda-water" on June 27, 1865. Howell's cream soda-water was made with sodium bicarbonate, water, sugar, egg whites, wheat flour, and "any of the usual flavoring materials—such as oil of lemon, extracts of vanilla, pine-apple, to suit the taste." Before drinking, the cream soda-water was mixed with water and an acid such as tartaric acid or citric acid.

In Canada, James William Black of Berwick, Nova Scotia was granted a U.S. patent on December 8, 1885, and a Canadian patent on July 5, 1886, for "ice-cream soda".

Although, they are no longer made with the same ingredients, which I for one am happy they don't, it is still a creamy delightful soda and an old-fashioned favorite.
