Where to find the best pre-mixed Buck's Fizz

We have sipped our way through a selection of Buck’s Fizz cocktails to find the most authentic.

By
Buck's Fizz drink
.

First served in London’s Buck’s club in 1921, the Buck’s Fizz drink was created as an excuse to begin drinking earlier in the day.

It consists of two parts Champagne or sparkling wine to one part orange juice. Legend has it that the original Buck’s club Buck’s Fizz recipe contained additional ingredients known only to the in-house bartenders.

This popular breakfast or brunch drink is easily made at home, but if you’re looking to stock up on an even easier pre-mixed version, look no further.

We’ve tasted a selection of ready-made Buck’s Fizz cocktails to find the best...

Morrisons The Best Bucks Fizz

Morrisons

Overall Score: 70/100

This really divided our panel with its strong lemon and green apple driven, sparkling wine aroma. The wine was very tangy with loads of green apple and slightly tart orange and grapefruit flavours. Balanced sweetness, very small bubbles that dissipate quickly. Some found this too tart for their palate.
