Photo by Sue York/ladailypost.comI grew up in southeast Michigan and we would have these during the summer. They are very easy to make, but they are very good! I believe that they need to be made with ONLY Vernor’s soda. Luckily, Smith’s carries this. It has a special taste.
Ingredients (for one drink):

3/4 of a pint of vanilla ice cream
Directons:
In a blender, miix together until smooth.
