Black Velvet Cocktail

The Black Velvet cocktail contains the word "velvet" in its title for a reason. The effervescent mingling of stout and Champagne is uncommonly smooth and subtly sophisticated. Go on. Take a sip and see for yourself.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces stout (we're talking Guinness here, folks, or the like), chilled
  • 3 ounces champagne chilled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Fill a Champagne flute halfway with stout.
  2. Top it off with Champagne.☞ TESTER TIP: Tradition holds that the stout goes into the glass first. This technique creates a rather dramatic presentation given that the Champagne, due to the difference in densities, lingers atop the stout in an impressive, if ephemeral, subsequent layer. It’s only a matter of time until the boozes mingle. To extend the lifetime of the layers, pour the Champagne over the back of a spoon to prevent it from plunging headlong into the stout.
  3. Imbibe.
