An Ice Cream Soda Fountain at home is the best way to surprise your kids and their friends and impress yours. It is also the perfect addition for a 50’s based theme party.  Here are some stuff that you have to purchase and do when setting up an ice cream soda fountain at home.  

1. Accessories for Ice Cream Soda Fountain - First of all, you need to get your hands on a soda fountain. You can opt for the antique classy soda machines or replicas, both of which are affordable. Don’t forget to pick up Soda Bottles, Beverage Trays, paneled and fluted Soda glasses, Mugs, straws, stirrers and long handled soda spoons.

2. Authentic Setting - To make the setting more authentic set up a makeshift bar by placing the ice cream soda on your dining table or kitchen counter. If you can pull in a few wooden stools and a temporary cabinet behind the counter with a mirror on its inside then the setting is perfect. Sharpen the image with a few vintage Tin posters to replicate the actual ambiance of a vintage soda shop.

3. Ingredients for Ice Cream Soda - Beside the Ice Cream Soda Machine, arrange quality and classic ice creams of Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate flavor. Then place the sauces, followed by fruits, nuts, and maraschino cherries and of course Whipped Cream for topping. Most importantly, you need to buy and arrange carbonated water or seltzer and other flavored syrups like root beer, vanilla and chocolate in the makeshift cabinet.

To pep up the settings you can dress up like a soda jerk by wearing white shirt, black pant, and bowties. Be sportive and get a paper hat for yourself. I am sure it is going to get your kids excited!! Trust me, once you get through setting up the ice cream soda fountain at home, you will be serving ice cream sodas day in and out, not only to family but also friends who will be swarming in just to get themselves a yummy treat of homemade ice cream soda pop!!
