It’s nice to have a drop of bubbly at Christmas, and our non-alcoholic Buck’s fizz means you don’t need to miss out if you’re cutting back on booze.
A classic Buck’s fizz is made with orange juice and champagne, but non-alcoholic Prosecco turns it into a lovely festive soft drink treat.
Ingredients
- Bottle of non-alcoholic Prosecco (usually sold in 75cl bottles)
- Freshly squeezed orange juice (bits or no bits is up to you)
- Chilled champagne glasses
Method
- Pour orange juice into the glasses until they are one-third full.
- Top up with non-alcoholic Prosecco.
- Stir with a small spoon and enjoy.
Variations
If you fancy trying something a bit different, here are a few more drinks which follow the same basic idea:
Bellini – Blend fresh or tinned peaches and mix the puree with the non-alcoholic prosecco in the same amounts.
Strawberry Bellini – blend strawberries and strain out the seeds, then mix in the same amounts.
Raspberry Bellini – blend raspberries with a little sugar, and strain out seeds. Add a little mint if you wish.
Fun Buck’s fizz facts
The Buck’s fizz is claimed to have been invented by a barman at the private London gentleman’s Buck’s Club in the 1930s.
While a Buck’s fizz has the same basic ingredients as a mimosa, it contains a higher proportion of bubbly to orange juice.
If you search the internet for “Bucks fizz”, the top results will refer to the British pop act of the same name — who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 with Making Your Mind Up.
Bucks Fizz had four members when they won Eurovision, but Wikipedia now lists a total of 17 past and present band members.
