The Buck's Fizz is an alcoholic drink made of two parts orange juice to one part champagne. Some older recipes list grenadine as an additional ingredient, but the International Bartenders Association recipe does not include it.
[edit] Overview
The drink is named after London's Buck's Club where it was invented as an excuse to begin drinking early; it was first served in 1921 by a barman named McGarry. The Mimosa cocktail, invented four years later in Paris, also contains sparkling wine and orange juice, but in equal measures.[1]
Buck's Fizz is popularly served at weddings as a less alcoholic alternative to Champagne. It is also touted as a morning "antidote" to hangover.
In 1981, the name was adopted by a successful British pop group, which went on to win a Eurovision title.
