  2. Stir gently until the chocolate syrup is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Slowly add 1/2 cup of chilled seltzer water while stirring continuously. Don't over-stir; you want some fizz to remain.
  4. For a truly authentic Bronx experience (optional), enjoy immediately and discreetly wipe your mouth with your sleeve afterwards! 😉
