A Bucks fizz is an alcoholic drink.
Recipe:
- orange juice
- chilled Brut champagne
- dash of grenadine
The drink is named after London's Buck's Club where it was first served in 1921.
The Buck's Fizz is the English version of the more American Mimosa. Both drinks are usually served at brunch or, tediously, at any time by outside caterers in the English county of Buckinghamshire which is otherwise known as 'Bucks'.
Note: Although the recipe given here, with grenadine, may be the original usage, most British people will understand 'Buck's Fizz' to refer to a mixture of orange juice and champagne; i.e. it is the usual British term for what Americans would call a 'Mimosa'.
