Buck's Fizz - Champagne and Orange Cocktail

Recipe #198884 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note
French Tart

By: French Tart
Dec 3, 2006

A Traditional celebration drink in our house, served on Christmas Morning, Birthdays, Anniversaries and almost all other "excuses" for a "knees up"!! We do use Champagne, but if this seems just too sybaritic & over indulgent, you can use any good quality "Fizz". Freshly squeezed orange juice is de rigeur, but again, you can get great "fresh-tasting" orange juices in bottles & cartons too.......but please, NO ice & unsweetened is best!

SERVES 6 , 6 glasses (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (750 ml) bottle champagne

  • 1/2 liter squeezed fresh orange juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Chill your Champagne & Orange Juice.
  2. 2
    Select tall and elegant shaped wine glasses!
  3. 3
    Pour about one third of orange juice into the glass first and then top up with champagne.
  4. 4
    Serve as a toast or as a celebration cocktail.
  5. 5
    P.S. The quantities have been known to change to almost NO orange juice to nearly ALL champagne at very "Festive" Frolics! Sante!

I don't think there are many things more indulgent then waking up late and enjoying a mimosa with a late breakfast! I like to pour a little bit of grenadine syrup in the glass and then slowly pour in the mimosa; it makes a very pretty drink.

    We call these Mimosas, and they're our favorite holiday drink. Fresh pineapple juice mixed with the OJ also adds a nice flavor.
