The Morning Glory Fizz: A classic revived
The Morning Glory Fizz is more than just a cocktail – it is a tribute to the classic art of mixing and at the same time proof that tradition and modernity can harmonize perfectly. This drink, which has its roots in the 19th century, is experiencing a renaissance in bars around the world and delights with its complex flavor profile.
Ingredients and preparation
The basis of this refreshing cocktail is a high-quality Scotch whisky, preferably from the smoky island of Islay. Its distinctive peat notes form the foundation for the other ingredients. Add 1.5 cl of fresh lime juice and the same amount of lemon juice, which give the drink a fruity acidity. 2 cl of sugar syrup provide a pleasant sweetness that balances out the acidity. A special twist is created by adding three dashes of absinthe, which creates an exciting depth with its herbal notes. The egg white is the secret behind the cocktail’s velvety texture, while a dash of soda provides the tangy freshness.
