Midori Cream Soda

Kayoko "Coco" Seo, Bar Moga | New York

A splash of whisky is the key to this boozy ice cream soda inspired by Kayoko Seo’s childhood—without it, Seo insists, the drink is too sweet. “The whisky stabilizes it,” she says. “I don’t taste it that much, but it’s a good combination. It gives it a nice balance.” The scoop of ice cream can be stirred into the drink or eaten right away.
