Still hot? Me too! How about this vintage soda fountain creation? Raspberry, orange and vanilla in frothy foam…with all those pastels, it’s no wonder the Pacific Northwest, Meier & Frank department-store chain called this the Summer Girl Soda. According to fourth-generation Frank family-member Gerry Frank, generations of sweet-loving Frank family members pretty much ensured that the soda-fountain creations, and desserts served in the Meier-Frank department store restaurants would be worth coming back for. While the stores, and their restaurants are gone, this signature recipe, requested by a reader, survives.
