Review:

The use of mandarine (tangerine) instead of orange makes the Puccini slightly sharper than a simple mimosa.

History:

Named after the composer of Madame Butterfly, this cocktail is popular in Venice and other areas of northern Italy. It is often made without the mandarine liqueur.

The sketchy history of both the Buck's Fizz and Mimosa can be found on our Buck's Fizz and Mimosa cocktail page.

Found it softer and a bit more sophisticated than a Mimosa. Did not have the orange bitterness aftertaste that I find Mimosas have.
