It is a sophisticated blend that combines the rich warmth of cognac with the citrusy sharpness of fresh lemon juice. The addition of orange liqueur adds a fruity complexity, while absinthe brings an herbaceous undertone and a hint of mystique to the drink. A touch of sugar syrup provides a balanced sweetness, and the Angostura bitters contribute a subtle spiced flavor that ties all the components together. Served in a lowball glass, the Morning Glory is emblematic of the grandeur of old-time mixology and is known for its smooth, well-rounded character—a delightful choice to start the day or as an elegant nightcap.
