Yay - Bucks Fizz does = Mimosa.
Let's have lots.

I was staggered to have it unlimited as part of brunch in San Francisco.
I don't think they were used to the British.
The plan was to get loaded and sleep all the way home.
Guess what?
The plane was late. We had a 13 hour flight with hangovers.
I wiki'd Mimosa. Apparently where Bucks Fizz is a 2:1 Orange to Champers mix, Mimosa is a 1:1 mix.

Bucks Fizz to me is Christmas morning. Always used to have Bucks Fizz with Christmas breakfast at J's dad's. We then adopted it for ourselves. And I've kept it up as a singleton :p Every Christmas I do myself a poor man's Bucks Fizz (cava instead of champagne) with my breakfast. It's the only part of Christmas breakfast that Pilau doesn't get a taste of.
