About
The Morning Glory Fizz is a pre-Prohibition classic that appeared in Harry Johnson's 1882 Bartenders' Manual, built on Scotch whisky with absinthe, fresh lemon, simple syrup, egg white, and a long finish of soda water. Historically served as a hangover cure and morning eye-opener, it is brisk, frothy, and oddly invigorating — the most civilized way to start a difficult day.
Ingredients
0.75 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Simple Syrup
1.5 oz Scotch Whiskey
0.5 oz Absinthe
2 oz Soda Water
0.5 oz Egg White
Instructions
- Combine the Scotch, absinthe, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white in a shaker without ice.
- Dry shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Add ice and shake again for 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled highball glass over ice.
- Top with soda water and stir gently.
- Garnish with a lemon slice.
