BLACK VELVET

Guinness is considered by its many aficionados to be extremely creamy, but when you add it to Champagne or prosecco, its fruitiness emerges as well. The proportions are roughly two parts bubbly to one part Guinness, but you can mix it to taste. It's a bit of a novelty drink, but, like Irish Coffee, it's found all over Ireland. Black Velvet is a terrific party drink. It's Irish, you can mix it to order as guests arrive, it's delicious-and it stretches your Champagne farther!

Yield Makes 1

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 ounces (1/2 cup) chilled Champagne or prosecco
2 ounces (1/4 cup) chilled Guinness Extra Stout

Steps:

  • 1 Pour the Champagne into a flute or other tall glass.
  • 2 Pour the Guinness on top. (Guinness is heavier. If you mix it the other way around, it won't combine evenly and will need to be stirred.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. A good option is Dutch-process cocoa powder, which has a darker color and richer taste than natural cocoa powder.
  • Make sure the Guinness is cold before adding it to the cocktail. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Garnish the cocktail with a twist of lemon or lime. This will add a refreshing citrus flavor to the drink.
  • If you don't have crème de violette, you can substitute another purple liqueur, such as crème de cassis or blue curaçao.
  • The Black Velvet cocktail is a classic and elegant drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is also relatively easy to make, so it is a great choice for home bartenders.

Conclusion:

The Black Velvet cocktail is a delicious and sophisticated drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you are looking for a classic cocktail to enjoy, give the Black Velvet a try.
