What Is a Classic Morning Glory Fizz Cocktail?
The Morning Glory Fizz is a hair-of-the-dog Scotch whisky cocktail made with absinthe, scotch, sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, and egg white, served with finely shaved ice and a splash of soda. The Morning Glory Fizz cocktail recipe first appeared in The New and Improved Bartenders’ Manual (1882) by Harry Johnson, who recommended the Morning Glory Fizz as a “morning beverage, which will give good appetite and quiet the nerves.”
How to Make Ryan Chetiyawardana’s Morning Glory Fizz
World-class mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana developed a contemporary take on the classic Morning Glory Fizz by using a vegan substitution for the egg white: aquafaba. Aquafaba is easy to make at home: Strain the liquid from a can of cooked chickpeas and whip into firm peaks using a hand mixer.
