Vegan Egg Cream

This soda, made famous in Brooklyn candy stores back in the 1930s, contains neither eggs nor cream. For those not familiar, an egg cream is a chocolatey seltzer drink that people like my father, a native New Yorker, go batty over. Most versions are made with whole milk, but I like mine with rice milk. Cashew or oat milk would also be delicious. My one recommendation is that you drink or serve this immediately; it is not a beverage that can sit around.
