Black Velvet Cocktail
This popular cocktail couldn’t be easier to make - it consists of 50 percent beer and 50 percent champagne.

This drink was invented in 1861 at Brook's Club in London, according to Guinness.com. During this time the British were in mourning because Prince Albert had died, so the story goes that the steward at the club decided that even the champagne should be put into mourning, and he proceeded to mix it with Guinness.
Tip: Domino.com advocates pouring the stout over the back of a spoon, which helps the champagne and beer separate, creating a dramatic effect.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 Flute of champagne

  • 1/2 Flute of GUINNESS® Extra Stout

Steps
  • Fill a tall flute halfway with the stout and then pour in the champagne.

Serves: 1
