I love a good fizz style cocktail and this XIX century creation was on my “To Try” list for way too long. At first glance it seems to be a quite simple drink, for a fizz. It does not require obscure or hard to source ingredients, so if you are planning getting into a fizz game, this recipe is a great starting point.
Base spirit of the cocktail is scotch with its malty, oaky notes, along with subtle hit of caramel sweetness. Tartness of lemon and lime juices brings the best of both worlds, ever so slightly increasing the complexity of the drink. Simple syrup balances out the sourness and lets the refreshing flavours pop out of the background. A few dashes of absinthe provide a touch of aniseed that is lingering in the background without overpowering rest of the ingredients, but clearly present nonetheless. Egg white creates the signature fizz foam, and a splash of effervescent soda water lengthens and lightens the cocktail. Finally, express some orange peel oils over the top for its delicious aroma and the cocktail is ready.
Morning Glory Fizz is a tasty and refreshing cocktail with a quirky name reflecting to its origins as a hangover cure. A must try for cocktail enthusiasts.
