Buck's fizz

What is "buck's fizz"?

Buck's Fizz is a classic alcoholic cocktail that is commonly served at breakfast or brunch. It is made from a mixture of orange juice and champagne, typically in a 2:1 ratio. The drink is named after the Buck's Club in London, where it was first created in the 1920s as a lighter alternative to a traditional mimosa. Buck's Fizz has a light, refreshing taste and a delicate fizziness that makes it perfect for morning or midday celebrations. The orange juice provides a tangy, citrus flavor that is balanced by the sweetness and effervescence of the champagne. Buck's Fizz is often garnished with a slice of fresh fruit, such as a strawberry or a slice of orange, to enhance its visual appeal. It is also a popular choice for special occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, and graduations, where it is typically served as a celebratory toast.
