Cocktail Colin says:
The Morning Glory cocktail is a splendid dance of traditional and bold flavors, beautifully marrying the warmth of cognac with the zesty brightness of lemon juice and orange liqueur. The intriguing hint of absinthe adds a layer of complexity, while the Angostura bitters and a dash of sugar syrup weave together these distinct notes into a smooth, harmonious libation that's both stimulating and refined.

FAQ's
What is the best occasion to serve the Morning Glory cocktail?
The Morning Glory cocktail, with its rich flavors and invigorating citrus notes, is perfect for brunch occasions or a refreshing start to the morning. Its name hints at its suitability for early enjoyment, making it a sophisticated choice for special breakfasts or early celebrations.
How does the alcohol content of the Morning Glory compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 22.16%, the Morning Glory is moderately strong compared to many other cocktails. It is stronger than light cocktails like the Mimosa, which typically sits around 10%, but less potent than high-alcohol content drinks like the Martini, which can exceed 30% alcohol by volume. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a balanced option.
Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Morning Glory?
Yes, you can create a non-alcoholic version of the Morning Glory by substituting the cognac and orange liqueur with non-alcoholic alternatives, such as non-alcoholic brandy or an orange-based syrup, and leaving out the absinthe entirely. You'll retain the citrus flavors while removing the alcohol.
What garnish goes best with the Morning Glory cocktail?
A classic garnish for the Morning Glory is an orange slice or a lemon twist. These citrus garnishes complement the lemon juice and orange liqueur in the cocktail, enhancing its aroma and adding a touch of elegance to its presentation.
How significant is the role of absinthe in the Morning Glory?
The teaspoon of absinthe in the Morning Glory plays a crucial yet subtle role. Although used sparingly, absinthe adds a unique herbaceous flavor and a hint of complexity to the cocktail, setting it apart from other cognac-based drinks. Its inclusion is a nod to the classic cocktail craftsmanship, enriching the overall taste profile without overpowering the other ingredients.
