Equal parts champagne and stout beer, this mixed drink is as easy as they come but tastes like nothing you’ve ever had. This cocktail is a great way to use up any open bottles of champagne left after you throw a party; the smooth brew complements the bubbles in a way that you’d never expect. This recipe is all about the proportions; you can make any number of drinks you want as long as you have enough of both ingredients.

More About This Recipe

  • A Black Velvet is made by combining sparkling white wine (typically champagne) with stout beer, like Guinness™. It was originally created in London in 1861 to mourn Queen Victoria’s Prince Consort, Albert—the dark color symbolizes the black or purple armbands mourners wore.
