Morning Glory Fizz
Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)
| 2 oz | Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from freezer |
| 0.08 oz | La Fée Parisienne absinthe |
| 2⁄3 oz | Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1⁄3 oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1⁄2 oz | Monin Pure Cane Syrup (65.0°brix, equivalent to 2:1 rich syrup) |
| 2⁄3 oz | Egg white |
| Top up with | Thomas Henry Soda Water |
Garnish: Lime slice
How to make:
SHAKE first 6 ingredients with ice and strain back into shaker. DRY SHAKE (without ice) and slowly pour 2/3rds of the contents of the shaker from a higher than normal height into a chilled empty glass (no ice in glass) while simultaneously pouring soda with your other hand. The cocktail and soda should form a single stream of liquid falling into the glass. As when pouring a Guinness, to achieve a perfect head on a fizz, the cocktail should be left to settle for at least a minute before topping off with what remains in the shaker. Ideally, during the settling period, the glass should be placed in a glass froster/fridge/freezer. As the final contents of the shaker are poured into the glass so the head should rise like a souffle.
