Mimosa

Mimosa is a classic breakfast cocktail that transforms a simple morning meal into a decadent event. The cocktail is made with freshly squeezed orange juice and Champagne or any dry sparkling wine. Grand Marnier or bitters can also be added in order to elevate the flavors even further.

To prepare it, orange juice is poured into a champagne flute, and it is then topped with Champagne or sparkling wine. It is believed that the famous director Alfred Hitchcock introduced the Mimosa as a brunch staple in the United States in the 1940s.

The cocktail is named after an Australian flower that was introduced to Europe by Captain Cook, and the first Mimosa was supposedly served in Paris in 1925 by Frank Meier, who was the head barman at The Ritz at the time.
This Drink is very popular to have in the mornings when you are away on holidays or
honeymoons and Weddings it’s a very simply but yet wonderful cocktail.

flavour out. Then top up with nice ice cold champagne.

What is HACCP? let's decode this

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points – a fancy way of saying “let’s keep food safe at every step!” It’s like having a superhero team guarding your food from farm to fork.

We list them out so we’re prepared. 2. Critical Control Points (CCPs) Where do we stop the danger?
