Buck's fizz
Buck's Fizz is a cocktail made of two parts Champagne and one part orange juice. It is traditionally served in a flute glass and is often enjoyed as a brunch or breakfast drink. The cocktail is named after the Buck's Club, a gentlemen's club in London, where it was first created in 1921.
History[edit | edit source]
The Buck's Fizz was invented as an alternative to the Mimosa, which is a similar cocktail made with equal parts of Champagne and orange juice. The Buck's Fizz was created by Pat McGarry, a bartender at the Buck's Club, and it quickly became popular due to its refreshing taste and lower alcohol content compared to other cocktails.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 2 parts Champagne
- 1 part orange juice
Preparation[edit | edit source]
1. Pour the orange juice into a chilled flute glass. 2. Slowly add the Champagne, allowing it to mix naturally with the orange juice. 3. Optionally, garnish with an orange twist or a strawberry.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Buck's Fizz, including:
- The Mimosa, which uses equal parts of Champagne and orange juice.
- The Poinsettia, which substitutes cranberry juice for orange juice.
- The Grand Mimosa, which adds a splash of Grand Marnier or another orange liqueur.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Buck's Fizz is often associated with celebratory occasions such as weddings, New Year's Eve, and Mother's Day. It is also a popular choice for brunch menus in many restaurants and hotels.
