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.

Ingredients

  1. 1

    Combine the scotch, simple syrup, lemon juice, and aquafaba in a cocktail shaker. Lock the shaker and dry-shake for several seconds.

  2. 2

    Unlock the shaker and add 4 to 5 ice cubes, then lock the shaker once more. Shake vigorously.

  3. 3

    Rinse a highball glass with absinthe: Add the absinthe to the highball glass, along with a few ice cubes. Stir, whirl, or slosh the ice cubes around in order to dilute the absinthe. Remove the ice cubes.

    Using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer, pour the contents of the shaker into the absinthe-rinsed highball glass.

  5. 5

    Pour a few ounces of soda water into the shaker, then pour the soda into the highball glass using a Hawthorne strainer.
