Description

The Black Velvet is an elegant and indulgent cocktail that marries the bubbly brightness of champagne with the rich, dark depth of stout beer. This unique blend is perfect for celebrations or as a sophisticated evening drink.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 oz (150 ml) champagne or sparkling wine
  • 5 oz (150 ml) stout beer (e.g., Guinness)

Instructions

  1. Chill both the champagne and stout beer in the refrigerator.
  2. In a tall champagne flute, pour the stout beer first.
  3. Slowly pour the champagne over the back of a spoon to layer it gently on top of the stout.
