Arrival at the storied meadows where this ritual has been performed for time immemorial is joined by a cacophony of participants and spectators with the sound of hounds baying in the background. The moment is here and the revelers are aflame with anticipation of the moments soon approaching in which they shall bound through the wilderness before them in search of their quarry.
The game is afoot and the well-heeled huntsmen dart forth in search of their prey. Some will be greatly rewarded and some will fall, there will be jubilant shouts and cries of tired desperation as the remaining spoils are quickly rounded up by those who have long trained in this fine art. All for the gift of a brightly…colored…egg.
A little dramatic, but, how seriously do your kids take it? The main thing is that now you have a bunch of cooked eggs just waiting for the application of dozens of recipes reserved for just this occasion. The one theme that can tie all of the disparate methods of preparation together is Bubbly. Call it sparkling wine, bubbly, Cava, Prosecco or true Champagne, they all can all contribute to that one drink at which no one bats an eye, the Mimosa. Pour one dram of Scotch over a cube at breakfast and risk an intervention, but add a little orange juice to your sparkling wine and now it is brunch.
According to the International Bartenders Association (IBA) the official recipe for the Mimosa calls for mixing equal parts Champagne and orange juice. A similar drink uses two parts OJ and one part Champagne and is known as a Buck’s Fizz. Both were invented in the early 1920’s and this has led to speculation as to which is the original. Either way, both are delicious ways to observe a hunt as well as perfect to wash down the spoils.
On the way to your hunt swing by and pick up one of these bubblies to enjoy in the brunch cocktail of your choice!
Borgo Magredo Prosecco is light-straw yellow in color with refreshing effervescence. Extra dry means that there is a bit of sugar left which makes it especially pleasant to the taste, initially cool and soft on the palate with fine bubbles, then giving way to fruity traces of peach and pear flowers. While delicious on its own as an aperitif. Prosecco can also be served throughout the meal especially with seafood and shellfish, light salads, tempura and sushi.
