Brunch as a social institution emerged in late 19th century England as a Sunday meal for those who had partied too hard on Saturday night. The word first appeared in print in 1895, coined by British writer Guy Beringer who championed the concept as "cheerful, sociable, and inciting." The tradition crossed the Atlantic and flourished in American hotel dining rooms and jazz-age society. The Mimosa appeared at the Ritz Paris around 1925, while the Bloody Mary was created by Fernand Petiot at Harry's New York Bar in Paris in the 1920s, later perfected at the King Cole Bar in New York. By the mid-20th century, brunch had become synonymous with leisurely weekends and acceptable daytime drinking. The Ramos Gin Fizz, requiring twelve minutes of shaking, epitomized the unhurried indulgence of the meal. Today brunch culture thrives worldwide, from bottomless mimosas in New York to Champagne-fueled affairs in London and Paris. It remains the one meal where dessert for breakfast and cocktails before noon are not just acceptable but expected.
