Morning Cocktail There has regularly been a pattern at promoting various drinks for “the morning after”, for whatever reason, this was apparently one that Harry Johnson preferred. Morning Cocktail 1 ounce brandy 1 ounce dry vermouth 2 dashes orange curaçao 2 dashes maraschino liqueur 2 dashes absinthe 3 dashes Angostura Bitters Garnish: Cherry and a lemon twist. Stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Source: “Harry Johnson’s New And Improved Bartenders Manual” (1900), by Harry Johnson
