I was looking for something different on St. Patty’s Day and came across this drink: Black Velvet Cocktails. They are fun to make and fun to drink! It was different enough (I had never heard of it before) to make a splash at a party I was throwing. FYI: I’ve used Prosecco when making this and it came out fine. The key is definitely the shape of the glass. If you use the flute style glass, you’ll get that great foamy top. Hope you try it. Happy St. Patty’s Day.

To make this drink, simply fill a champagne flute half way with Guinness beer. Slowly top it with chilled Champagne. It will create a foamy head on top so be sure to pour slowly. Ideally, pour over the back of a spoon to help control the foam. How easy is this to make?
