eggs benedict brunch

Hong Kong, China

<p><strong>Yuan Yang</strong></p><p>"The ultimate caffeine hit, in short. Coffee meets Hong Kong milk tea - a blend of Ceylon and Pu'er tea leaves and evaporated milk. Drink hot or on ice, the morning after a big night."</p><p>Etiquette: Pour tea for others before pouring for yourself.</p>

Paris, France

<p><strong>Bloody Mary</strong></p><p>"Hailing from '20s Paris, the Bloody Mary is a hard-hitting formula of tomato and lemon juice, vodka, Worcestershire sauce and tabasco."</p><p>Etiquette: Don't drink until "<em>à votre santé</em><span>" has been said.</span></p>

Kingston, Jamaica

<p><strong>Hibiscus Ginger Punch</strong></p><p>"Hibiscus-infused water is combined with ginger, agave syrup and rum to create the ultimate Caribbean cocktail. If avoiding alcohol, it can also be made into a refreshing tea."</p><p>Etiquette: Don't leave the table in the middle of eating.</p>

Kuala Lampur, Malaysia

<p><strong>Teh Tarik</strong></p><p>"This 'pulled tea' is a heady concoction mixing water, fragrant black tea leaves and condensed milk. It's then poured between jugs a minimum of six times to create its signature frothy top."</p>

London, UK

<p><strong>Buck's Fizz</strong></p><p>"First served at London's illustrious Buck's Club, this cocktail marries the sweet refreshment of orange juice with the sophisticated alcoholic kick of champagne."</p>

Cairo, Egypt

<p><strong>Shai</strong></p><p>"Brewed from rich black tea, sugar cane and aromatic mint leaves. Shai is such a daily necessity that it's regarded as the national hot drink of Egypt."</p>

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

<p><strong>Cafezinho</strong></p><p>"Helping the great nation of Brazel keep its energetic reputation, this filtered coffee is served extremely hot with heaps of sugar to take the edge off the naturally bitter coffee."</p>

New York, New York USA

<p><strong>Bellini</strong></p><p>"A curious combo of prosecco and pureed peaces. The Bellini has been a growing favorite amongst sophisticated brunchers since its arrival to New York from Venice."</p>

New Delhi, India

<p><strong>Chai</strong></p><p>"There's a good reason this drink has stuck around for more than 5,000 years. Sweet in taste, it combines chai masala, a blend of spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, milk, sugar, black tea leaves and water which is poured from a height to better mix all of those flavors together."</p>

Cancun, Mexico

<p><strong>Michelada</strong></p><p>"A savory cocktail fusing Mexican beer, chili, lime, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces for a drink with enough kick that it's not just the food to watch out for."</p><p>Etiquette: 'Buen provecho' is a traditional, pre-meal toast.</p>

Barcelona, Spain

<p><strong>Cava</strong></p><p>"A sparkling wine, mainly produced in the Catalonian region of Spain, made to the same recipe as champagne."</p>

Not every country is down with eggs benny.
