Morning Glory

Just a quick blog post about one of our newer cocktail discoveries. This cocktail has three things I love. It’s old,  being mentioned in Jerry Thomas’s 1887 Bartenders Guide.  It also has both rye and absinthe, two of my favorite ingredients.  It’s also a really great cocktail…

Morning Glory

1 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. cognac
1 tsp. curacao
1 tsp. simple syrup
1 tsp. absinthe
2 dashes angostura bitters

Mix all of the ingredients in a mixing cup with ice.  Stir.  Strain into a rocks glass with a couple of fresh ice cubes.  Top up with seltzer and garnish with a a lemon twist.

This particular version came from Imbibe Magazine.

Cheers.
