Best way to do Bucks Fizz for christmas morning

[Vajazzler]

Should i buy it pre-made? Or make my own? Champagne? Or can i use prosecco?

I make my own and leave out the orange juice

Seriously though, actually Dad who makes them in our house and its usually Champagne and juice with no bits.

I use prosecco and cranberry juice, because I think it makes it more festive! Doesn't answer your question though! you can use whatever you prefer. I think it's nicer made with fresh juice on the day mixed with the fizz personally. and I think prosecco is fine. - But champagne is a treat for me, so I wouldn't waste it with juice

Sainsburys Taste the Difference Clementine Bucks Fizz is amazing!

Instead of Bucks Fizz, can I champion the Bellini? A lot nicer...

Agree, sainsbury's is nice.

Straight from the bottle.

oooo granny I just bought some of that! :D

I use Cava / Prosecco for Buck's Fizz and keep Chapagne neat to enjoy - secon Bellini or Kir Royal but perhaps not for breakfast!!
I like the bits in the OJ too.

Bellinis are yum.

Or also a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds and small mint leaves makes it v festive. Pre-freeze the pomegranate and mint in ice cubes to avoid faff on the day. Works in either champagne or Buck's Fizz.

You can also get hibiscus flowers in syrup from Lakeland I think, to drop in a glass.

Yum to Bellinis. Liking the pomegranate thing too.

And Prosecco much nicer than champagne generally.

Agree prosecco is the way to go - the San Leo stuff on offer in Waitrose for £6.66 a bottle is fab. Three bottles for the price of one of champers - what's not to love?

A second for Thr sainsburys clementine one.

Then bellinis before dinner. [fhiccup]

What do you use to make bellinis? Peaches not really in season I think? Do you use pre-mixed stuff or something? thanks.

Peach purée, archers and prosecco. White peach purée.

Waitrose sell little sachets of white peach puree.

Blitz a tin of peaches

A bottle of Champagne (or three), a jug of orange juice (no bits) and a bottle of crème de cassis/framboise with a handsome silver pouring spout placed on its end, put a white starched napkin round the collar of each bottle and through the handle of the orange juice jug. Put it all on a tray with some delicious nibbles.

Why the heck we bother with a turkey I don't know.

Rhubarb bellinis are amazing. Google it, it's a Hugh F-W recipe I use.

For Buck's Fizz I would use cava and freshly squeezed OJ. With bits.

A Valencia is much nicer tha ordinary buck's fizz IMO. Basically a buck's fizz with a teeny amount of apricot brandy in it. Orange bitters if you can get your hands on them. Yum!

That said, we'll probably just have champagne and my mother'll be into the Bristol Cream...
