How To Make Bucks Fizz Drink

A Bucks Fizz Cocktail is one of the most simple drinks to make, no special equipment needed!

Step One - slice the orange

  • Wash and dry the orange
  • Slice the orange into thin rounds. Then make one cut to the centre or each round so that you can balance them on the glasses as a garnish.

Step Two - mix the Bucks Fizz

  • Set the glasses onto a tray.
  • Pour the orange juice into the glasses - remember you're aiming for two-thirds sparkling wine, so don't add too much, leave space for the fizz!
  • Top the glasses up with sparkling wine.

Step Three - add the garnish

  • Garnish each glass with a slice of orange and then serve.
