I’ve never tried this cocktail. I contains an ingredient that I don’t enjoy: Guinness.
But I’ve gotten a couple of emails about this and figure that I might as well give you the recipe. You know, in case you want to make this drink. I’ll try to not hold my nose while you enjoy it. ;)
Black Velvet
Ingredients:
- Guinness
- Champagne
Instructions:
Half fill a champagne glass with Guinness and gently pour the champagne over the back of a spoon so the liquid runs down the sides, this avoids mixing the two liquids.

It looks good, but I’m not big on either drink. The only way I have ever been able to drink Guinness is via Irish Car bombs, which is another great drink that you suck down all in one shot, but will creep up on you fast after two or three. It’s a slightly bitter, yet chocolaty delight.
