With its crisp body and citrus bite, the mimosa slips effortlessly into the frame of an elegant French brunch event—not as a side element, but as a detail that binds the meal together. As brunch isn’t about centrepieces, and neither is the mimosa, it creates a sense of ease and leisure which become the essence of most brunch meals.

Smoked Salmon Tartine

The smoked salmon and crème fraîche provide salty and fatty elements that offset the citrus bite from the mimosa to produce a winning combination.

Gruyère & Mushroom Quiche

Savoury and umami richness from the quiche holds up to the acidity of the mimosa, neutralising the palate between bites without disturbing the composition of the baked delicacy.

Duck Rillettes On Brioche

The slow-cooked French spread adds a touch of luxury that the mimosa echoes through citrus and fizz, ensuring adequate pacing to avoid palate fatigue in a slow setting brunch.

Croque Madame

The béchamel, cheese and egg yolk of the baked sandwich require brightness to make its flavours feel welcome bite after bite, and the mimosa acts as the medium which does not overpower or conflict with its stacked texture.

Asparagus & Goat Cheese Galette

The tartness of the cocktail complements the earthiness of the vegetarian freeform tart that upkeeps its snap from asparagus and salty flavour of goat cheese tang without disturbing the light flakiness of pastry crust.

Lobster Omelette

The sweetness of lobster and the softness of egg demand lightness and acidity, which the brunch cocktail delivers while highlighting the seafood element distinctly throughout the meal. *Drink Responsibly. This communication is for audiences above the age of 25.
