A mixture of champagne or ginger ale and
ripple. It was first mentioned on the episode of Sanford and Son entitled "Fred & Carol and Fred & Donna" in which he says he has a mixture of ginger ale and ripple. It was mentioned later in the episode "Superflyer" in which they decide to get champagne (not ginger ale) because they are on a plane
flying first class and Redd Foxx also wants some ripple to
mix it with, saying they could call it "champipple."
