A storied pre-noon reviver built on Scotch whisky, the Morning Glory Fizz has been sobering up the well-heeled since the 19th century - its anise-kissed, citrus-bright profile and silky egg white foam making it one of the most elegant excuses ever devised for drinking before lunch.

Method

1
Combine Scotch whisky, absinthe, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, rich sugar syrup, and egg white in a shaker.
2
Add ice and SHAKE hard for 10–12 seconds.
3
Strain the mixture back into the shaker, discarding the ice.
4
DRY SHAKE vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to fully emulsify the egg white.
5
Have a chilled highball glass (no ice) and a bottle of soda water ready.
6
Slowly pour approximately two-thirds of the shaker contents from a height of 20–25cm into the glass, simultaneously pouring a thin stream of soda water with your other hand, merging both streams into one as they hit the glass.
7
Allow the cocktail to settle for at least 60 seconds - ideally place it in a freezer or glass froster during this time.
8
Slowly pour the remaining contents of the shaker into the glass. The head should rise dramatically above the rim like a soufflé.
9
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and serve immediately.

From the Bartender

The dual-pour technique - merging the shaken cocktail and soda into a single falling stream - is key to building the fizz's signature soufflé head; the brief resting period in a froster allows the foam to set before the final pour crowns the glass.

Cocktails like this one

Straight Rye Whiskey

Rattlesnake

Bold and spicy rye leads with warming heat, undercut by bright citrus sourness and a whisper of anise from the absinthe, all wrapped in a lush, pillowy egg white foam that softens every sip into something dangerously smooth.

Light Rum

Chicago Fizz

Silky and effervescent, with bright lemon tartness and gentle sweetness playing off the rich, vinous depth of ruby port and the clean lift of light rum. The egg white builds a luxurious foam that softens every sip, leaving a warming, fruit-forward finish beneath the fizz.

Gin

Ramos Fizz

Lusciously creamy and cloud-soft, with bright citrus from lemon and lime, gentle botanical complexity from the gin, and delicate floral notes of orange blossom and vanilla, all lifted by a crisp effervescent finish.

Blended Scotch whisky

Cameron's Kick

Gently smoky and honeyed on the nose, with a bright citrus lift and a warm whisky backbone that gives way to a nutty, almond-sweet finish. The egg white rounds out the texture into something smooth and almost creamy, making this sour feel as elegant as it is complex.
