Title: Cherry Phosphate
Post by: Kaleid20 on June 25, 2013, 09:12:53 pm
Guys,

This is more for you soda jerk fountain buffs out there. I saw this and thought it was worth posting. Didn't realize how hard it is to actually find a true Cherry Phosphate these days.

Nice article, along with the "real" ingredients:

A couple places I 've gotten to go still make them Dr. Jazz Soda Fountain in Lebanon, IL and I think there is one in
Webster Groves, MO... Good Stuff... The one in Lebanon is a Bed and Breakfast after the fountain closes he gives the
guest of the B&B a chance to get behind the fountain and shows them how to make them... Was awesome.

Eric, I have also been to the one in Lebanon it is truly a trip down memory lane.  When I was a kid my paper route ended at an old pharmacy/soda fountain.  A nickel for a cherry phosphate and then off to home.

I still make them for the grand kids and while sweet they are not as good, may have been the paper cups...

I will be making cherry phosphates for my favorite costumers in the malt shop.  Thanks for the tip.

They used to serve those at my dad's drugstore.  Wish I had some pictures from back in the day when the fountain was running.   :down:
