Cheng’s Neapolitan Fizz Cynar

This over-the-top ice cream cake of a cocktail takes inspiration from the classic flavors found in the three layers of Neapolitan ice cream, with Cynar standing in for chocolate, Frangelico for vanilla and Campari for strawberry. The soda fountain stylings are complete with fresh citrus juices, strawberry syrup and rich cream, finished with a shake of birthday cake sprinkles.
