Black Velvet Cocktail
Made with Beer
main ingredients
- Champagne (chilled) - 4ounce
- Stout (chilled) - 4ounce
instructions
Gather the ingredients.
Pour the Champagne into a wine flute, filling the glass halfway.
Slowly pour the stout on top to fill the glass.
Serve and enjoy!
Tips
You can also pour this drink in a beer mug or pint glass, though the flute does add a fancy touch. No matter the glass, pour equal amounts of Champagne and stout.
Since there is no ice involved in mixing this drink, it really is best when both ingredients are well-chilled. It's something you likely do for both sparkling wine and stout anyway but don't forget to do it when making the black velvet.
Though traditionally made with French Champagne, any sparkling wine will create a nice black velvet. You might, for instance, pour Italy's Prosecco or Spain's cava, both of which tend to be less expensive than Champagne.
