- 4 ounces sparkling wine (champagne or prosecco works well)
Directions
Step 1
Choose a tall champagne flute or a chilled pint glass to serve your Irish Black Velvet.
Step 2
Carefully pour 4 ounces of stout beer into the glass. Tilt the glass slightly and pour gently to minimize foam and achieve a clean pour.
Step 3
Slowly add 4 ounces of sparkling wine. To maintain the layered visual effect, carefully pour the sparkling wine over the back of a spoon so it rests atop the stout beer.
Step 4
Allow the drink to settle briefly, and enjoy immediately.
