Morning Glory Fizz
Ingredients
Preparation
Fill a small juice glass or a highball with ice and let it sit to chill. In a shaker, combine the scotch, lemon juice, simple syrup, absinthe, and egg white; shake to blend. Add ice and shake until chilled. Add the seltzer/soda water, then stir. Discard the ice from the glass (shaking out excess water) and strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled glass. Dash the bitters on top.
The Morning Glory Fizz is a Victorian-era hangover cure that earns its name—a bracing, clarifying drink meant to restore the weary. Scotch provides a smoky backbone, softened by lemon and sugar, while a whisper of absinthe adds herbal complexity without overwhelming the palate. The egg white creates a silky, frothy texture that the soda lifts into an effervescent cloud, with a few dashes of aromatic bitters across the top adding spice to each sip.
