Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

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

Garnish/Serving:

  • None specified

Instructions

  1. Ensure the champagne and stout beer are thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator for optimal temperature and flavor.
  2. Select a pristine champagne flute and pour the dark stout beer as the foundational layer, allowing it to settle smoothly at the bottom of the glass.
  3. Employ a delicate technique by inverting a spoon and gradually cascading the champagne over its curved surface, creating a mesmerizing two-toned visual effect where the lighter champagne hovers elegantly above the rich stout.
  4. Present the Black Velvet cocktail immediately to preserve its distinctive layered appearance and fresh, crisp taste, inviting immediate appreciation of its unique blend.

Notes

  • Chill glasses beforehand to maintain the perfect temperature and enhance the drink’s layered presentation.
  • Use a spoon with a curved back to create a precise, clean layer between the stout and champagne for a stunning visual effect.
  • Select a dark stout with rich, robust flavors like Guinness to complement the champagne’s crisp and bubbly character.
  • Experiment with different stout and champagne combinations to discover your preferred flavor profile and balance.
