You’ve heard the term breakfast whisky, here’s a breakfast cocktail with whisky as the star ingredient.

The Morning Glory Fizz was featured in Harry Johnson’s Bartenders Manual originally published in 1882. Considered a hair of the dog cocktail, the rather potent mix of blended whisky and absinthe sipped through foamy egg white supposedly works at fixing a nasty hangover. A splash of soda brightens the drinks and adds a little welcome carbonation.
The drink can be served in a tall glass or a tumbler. In our version, we used a stemless wine glass and floated a circular lemon rind on top of the foam to resemble an egg. After all, as its name suggests, the Morning Glory Fizz is a whisky cocktail best enjoyed before midday, as a brunch cocktail or as an antidote to a hangover.
