Black Velvet - Irish Guinness and Champagne Cocktail
By: French Tart
Feb 29, 2008
Add some sparkle to your Guinness this St Patrick's Day with a splash of Champagne.........this is the perfect way to enjoy your Guinness with a touch of sophistication! This cocktail is also well known in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as Ireland of course! It's easy to make and slips down just like velvet, as the name suggests. Use a good quality sparkling wine if champagne is not available.

Love Champagne and love Guinness but these two did not go good together.

Stout beer and sparkling wine are my two favorite drinks so how could I resist this opportunity to try them together? INCREDIBLE! It has a strong Guinness flavor but softened texture, like a spritzer. I still like both the ingredients separately but this is a fun change. My husband isn't a big dark beer or champagne drinker and enjoyed this. The champagne flavor is completely overpowered so I wouldn't use a good bubbly - a cheaper one that's a day old (but properly capped to preserve the bubbles), or even a nonalcoholic would be fine.

I think this is a wonderful way to elevate beer to the dining room table. It was the hit of our St. Pat's Day dinner. Made for photo tag.
