Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ounces stout beer (such as Guinness)
- 4 ounces sparkling wine (champagne or prosecco works well)
Instructions
Choose a tall champagne flute or a chilled pint glass to serve your Irish Black Velvet.
Carefully pour 4 ounces of stout beer into the glass. Tilt the glass slightly and pour gently to minimize foam and achieve a clean pour.
Slowly add 4 ounces of sparkling wine. To maintain the layered visual effect, carefully pour the sparkling wine over the back of a spoon so it rests atop the stout beer.
Allow the drink to settle briefly, and enjoy immediately.
