About the French Cream Soda
The soda fountain family. Soda fountains spread across America in the late 1800s, serving flavoured syrups mixed with carbonated water. Many famous alcohol-free drinks, like the Shirley Temple, the Roy Rogers and the Italian soda, come from that tradition: syrup, citrus and bubbles.
