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."
