Morning Glory Fizz

Combine the whiskey, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, absinthe and egg white in a cocktail shaker and dry shake to combine. Add a scoop of ice and shake very hard for at least 30 second, then strain into an ice-filled glass. Top with 1 or 2 ounces of club soda, to taste.

The Morning Glory Fizz is a delightful cocktail that offers a balance of tartness, sweetness, and a touch of herbal notes. It typically includes ingredients such as gin, lemon juice, lime juice, powdered sugar, absinthe, and soda water. The cocktail is known for its frothy texture and pale yellow color, which is achieved by vigorously shaking the ingredients with ice before straining into a tall glass.

The Morning Glory Fizz was first mentioned in 1884 in How to Mix Drinks by some chap called Winter. It was also mentioned the same year in another book called Scientific Barkeeping by author unknown. The cocktail gained popularity during the "Golden Age of Cocktails" in America, which was characterized by the proliferation of creative and elaborate mixed drinks. The Morning Glory Fizz was particularly popular in New Orleans and became a staple in the city's cocktail culture. It could be considered a ‘Silver Fizz’, and it is this ambrosial texture that is the true beauty of this drink.
