Keeping the vibrant flavours of a traditional Buck’s Fizz, with orange and prosecco, this serve is brought bang up to date with zesty pink grapefruit and the delicious berry flavours of Gordon‘s Premium Pink Gin, resulting in a vibrant colour and flavour for a show stopping start to your celebrations.
The carefully balanced combination of sweet and bitter, make Gordon‘s Pink Grapefruit Fizz the ideal aperitif to get your palate in the mood for food.
