Highland Hangover cure: the story of the Morning Glory Fizz

As a hangover cure, the Morning Glory Fizz is almost unbeatable. The acidity of the lemon juice helps soothe the stomach and boost digestion, while the egg white grants nourishment. The alcohol content of the Scotch is just enough to give you a hair of the dog that bit you without prolonging the hangover. And the fizzy soda makes you feel fresh and revitalized. At least that's the theory – which undoubtedly dates back to a time when a morning cocktail didn't cause a surprised frown. But hey, whatever works – and let he who is without sin cast the first Singapore Sling.
