Cocktail Colin says:
The Morning Glory Fizz is a delightful exploration of bold and eclectic flavors, harnessing the warm, spiced profile of whiskey offset by sharp citrus notes from both lemon and lime. The subtle undertone of absinthe enriches the mix with a light, anise-like complexity while the egg white rounds out the texture, making it richly frothy; a sophisticated morning wake-up call that balances zest with indulgence.
Method
How to make a Morning Glory Fizz
-
- Start by combining the first six ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice
-
- Shake well until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, usually about 10-15 seconds, then strain the mixture back into the shaker without the ice
-
- This is known as a dry shake to help build a frothy texture
-
- Next, position your chilled, empty glass (ensure there's no ice in it) slightly tilted and aim to slowly pour two-thirds of the shaken mixture from the shaker, holding it at a height above the glass
-
- At the same time, with your other hand, gently pour soda down the side of the glass so both the cocktail and soda meet and mix midway, creating a singular, smooth stream that blends right before hitting the glass
-
- Allow the poured cocktail to settle undisturbed for at least a minute which helps in forming a perfect, creamy head on your fizz
-
- If available, placing the glass in a froster, fridge, or freezer during this time can enhance the texture and chill of the drink
-
- Finally, top off the drink with the remaining contents from the shaker, pouring slowly to help the head of the cocktail rise beautifully, much like a well-risen soufflé
-
- This meticulous pouring and waiting method rewards you with a visually stunning and deliciously layered fizzy cocktail

FAQ's
What is the history behind the Morning Glory Fizz?
The Morning Glory Fizz is a classic cocktail that dates back to the late 19th century. It was created as a hair-of-the-dog drink to cure hangovers, offering a sparkling, refreshing start to the day. Its vibrant mix of ingredients and effervescent nature made it a popular choice for morning consumption, hence the name.
Why is absinthe used in the Morning Glory Fizz, and can it be substituted?
Absinthe is used in the Morning Glory Fizz for its unique herbal flavor and its historical reputation as a stimulating and intoxicating substance. It adds complexity to the cocktail. If you're unable to find absinthe or prefer not to use it, you could substitute it with Pernod or another anise-flavored liqueur to maintain the drink's characteristic flavor, though the taste profile will slightly change.
What type of whiskey is best for the Morning Glory Fizz?
For the Morning Glory Fizz, a high-quality, smooth, and slightly sweet whiskey works best, such as a good Rye or Bourbon. The whiskey's warmth and richness provide a solid foundation for the bright citrus and herbal notes of the other ingredients. Rye whiskey, in particular, can add a spicy edge that complements the drink's complexity.
Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the Morning Glory Fizz?
Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic version of the Morning Glory Fizz by substituting the whiskey with a non-alcoholic spirit or whiskey alternative and omitting the absinthe. Replace absinthe with a few drops of anise extract or similar non-alcoholic herbal alternatives to mimic its flavor. The key is to balance the sweet and sour components while maintaining the fizz.
How important is the egg in the Morning Glory Fizz, and are there any alternatives?
The egg white in the Morning Glory Fizz is crucial for creating the drink's signature frothy, silky texture. It also helps to balance the flavors. If you're vegan or allergic to eggs, a popular alternative is aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas), which can be used in equal measure to the egg white to achieve a similar texture and foaminess without altering the taste significantly.
