Description
Black Velvet is an interesting aperitif cocktail. It consists of equal parts sparkling wine and stout beer. Prickling champagne with unobtrusive Guinness flavour, that's surprisingly a great combination, try it out.
Black Velvet does look very appealing, optically the stout beer is dominant. Like a Guinness in a champagne glass, black with a thick white crest.
A good option for a brunch, an apero or in general as an aperitif. Preparation is fast and almost everybody likes it.
