Buck’s Fizz Macarons
Buck's Fizz Macarons (Gluten Free, Dairy Free) Buck’s Fizz was first served in 1921 at the London Buck’s Club, a gentlemen’s club that partially inspired P.G. Wodehouse’s fictional Drones Club. Credited to a bartender named McGarry, Buck’s Fizz has remained popular for nearly a century, and is typically made with two parts orange juice to one part champagne, although the true recipe remains known only to the club. This has to be the best cocktail to have with breakfast (or brunch, if you prefer), and I like it because the champagne nicely tempers the sweetness of the orange juice. I tried to recreate that taste in macaron form, and the result is subtle, very tasty, and not unlike an orange creamsicle. So pop open some champagne, put on some David Bowie, and let’s get baking! Ingredients For the Shells: ⅔ cup almonds 1 cup powdered sugar 2 egg whites (aged) 1 1/2 tsp orange extract a little orange gel food coloring For the Champagne "Butter" Cre
