Not one to ever say no to a cocktail, I was very happy when we popped open a bottle of champagne rose to celebrate Mother's Day. With a glass of bubbly in hand, I got to thinking about my top three drinks for a brunch or lunch occasion - and this is what I came up with:
1- The Bellini
Made famous in Venice at the renowned Harry's Bar. It's the perfect mix of sweet and tart - prosecco and pureed white peach.
2- The Sgroppino
I had my first one of these at Cipriani in London. It's a blended mix of vodka and lemon sorbet and served immediately in a small glass. One word - yum.
3- The Mimosa
Allegedly invented at the bar in the Ritz in Paris, this drink is simply a mixture of champagne and orange juice. I suppose the great thing about this concoction is that there's no wait - it's all about instant gratification.
With all this, if you can't make up your mind (but are anything like me), a simple glass of champagne will fit the bill beautifully.
