Black Velvet Recipe and History
Ingredients:
½ Flute of Champagne
½ Flute of Guinness Extra Stout
Serves 1
Guiness mixed fifty fifty with Champagne. This famous drink was invented in 1861 at Brook’s Club in London. Prince Albert had died, everyone was in mourning, and the story goes that the steward at the club, overcome with the emotion of the occasion, ordered that even the champagne should be put into mourning, and proceeded to mix it with Guiness. The taste was so delicious, Black Velvet became extremely popular.
