From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Black Velvet is a cocktail made from Guinness Stout and a white, sparkling wine, traditionally Champagne.
To make a Black Velvet, fill a tall flute glass half full of chilled Guinness, and float the sparkling wine on top of the Guinness.
Other options are apple or pear hard cider, use a spoon turned upside down and pour the cider over the spoon along the side of the glass to keep the Guinness and your choice of other beverage from mixing,
