Buck's fizz

Buck's fizz is an alcoholic cocktail made of about two parts sparkling wine, typically champagne, to one part orange juice. It is essentially the same as the mimosa; the International Bartenders Association considers the two drinks synonymous.[1][2] Other sparkling wines may also be used.

Overview edit

The drink is named after London's Buck's Club, where it is said to have first been served in 1921 by a barman named Malachi "Pat" McGarry[3] (who features in the works of P. G. Wodehouse as the barman of Buck's Club and the Drones Club).[citation needed] Traditionally, it is made by mixing two parts champagne and one part orange juice. Some older recipes list grenadine as an additional ingredient.[citation needed] The original Buck's Club recipe is said to contain additional ingredients known only to the club's bartenders.[citation needed]

Buck's fizz is popularly served at weddings as a less alcoholic alternative to champagne. In the United Kingdom, it is a popular part of a Christmas breakfast. Many people also drink it on New Year's Eve.

In 1981, the name was adopted by a British pop group which went on to win a Eurovision title.

More recently, prosecco has been used in the cocktail in the place of champagne as a sparkling wine.[4]
