17 Reviews of Buck's Fizz - Champagne and Orange Cocktail

From: Denibates

On Dec 12, 2006

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

    Excellent brunch cocktail. It does make exactly 6 cocktails and I should know... I was the only one drinking at brunch and had them all by my little ole drunk self. Drunk at noon! Tsk tsk... what would my Mom say if she knew?

    This beverage has one serious drawback. It's almost impossible not to chug the whole glass!. Champers and unsweetened o.j. were used from the fridge to a marvelous result. FT, my dear, I sing your praises. I have to run now and stash the remaining evidence befor DH discovers this and I have to share!

    Excellent idea for a special occasion or a special brunch. We enjoyed this very much. I do think this is the best with fresh squeezed orange juice. Thanks for sharing this recipe French Tart and one that we will be making again!

    I first saw this cocktail served by Paula Deen to her husband on her show for an elegant brunch. It has become a favorite of mine every since. Very simple & very elegant. Thank you for posting this, French Tart!

    Whether you call it a Mimosa or a Buck's Fizz (invented for the American bar at the Buck's private men's club in London in 1921), it's delicious! Nice to have proper proportions laid out.
