Fresh-squeezed orange juice mixed with champagne, first thing in the morning ... What’s not to like about that?
Leading up to my english friend Fionna's departure from Sydney back to the U. K., we met at Fionna's favourite beach (Balmoral Beach) for a bite to eat.
Fionna, below, waiting for me "over the bridge" which hangs over a section of the beach. (I wonder how many marriage proposals have been given on that bridge? It's that kinda place ...)
Beautiful day to get together for brunch at The Bather's Pavillion, a restaurant with quite a history in the area (more on that in a moment). Very popular with the locals, more so with the tourists (who were lucky enough to find out about it through word of mouth). The Pavillion has published an amazing cookbook with lots of great Aussie-inspired recipes, as well as lots of information on Balmoral Beach and the surrounding area.
And there we sat, drinking mimosas, eating late lunch, and talking about many a thing. (including the shark net, which lies just off the beach ... an eery reminder of what lies "out there")
Recipe
Depending on your tastes, 1 part Champagne to 1 part Orange juice is a good place to start. Adjust ratios on the second, third, fourth ... cocktail as desired.
