The Buck's Fizz is a simple drink made with orange juice and champagne, very similar to a Mimosa. However, the Buck's Fizz cocktail uses more champagne than orange juice, while Mimosa's use equal parts champagne and orange juice.

Some recipes add grenadine to the Buck's Fizz for a splash of color. For a modern twist, I add Contreau to the recipe. The bright flavor combination is delicious.

Rather than serving the Buck's Fizz in individual servings, this cocktail punch is made in a big batch to serve for easy entertaining.

Make this beautiful champagne punch recipe for holiday parties, bridal showers, afternoon luncheons, or brunch! Everyone will love the contrasting flavors of sweet and tart. Enjoy! Xoxo~Katie.

Can you substitute Champagne with Prosecco?

Champagne is made in France, and Prosecco is made in Italy. Prosecco and Champagne are both a sparkling wine and very similar in taste.

Champagne is often more dry in flavor and more expensive. It is also more bubbly and the bubbles tend to last longer.

Prosecco can be substituted for the champagne because you are mixing it with other ingredients. The other ingredients are going to take over the sparkling wine flavor.

Recipe Tips

If you want the champagne punch with less sweetness, use a sugar free orange juice or a little less Cointreau. For a brighter, more bold reddish color, use a tiny bit less of Cointreau and a dash more of grenadine.

Presentation Tips

If you want to serve in a punch bowl, double or triple recipe depending on size of bowl.
