Black Velvet Cocktail Recipe
Black Velvet Cocktail is one of the great mixed drinks, combining amazing flavours of Champagne and beer. Chilled stout is another main ingredient of this drink, which is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, water, hops and yeast. However, you can replace the Champagne with sparkling wine. This recipe makes one drink and takes just two minutes. It is one of the great drinks to serve on hot days of summer. Bartender of the Brooks’ Club of London first prepared Black Velvet in 1861, while mourning the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s Prince Consort. The bitterness of one ingredient of this alcoholic drink combines with the tang of the other and makes a perfect flavour. It is always better to serve this drink in a Collins glass for a perfect presentation but if you do not have a Collins glass, you can use any of the cocktail glass as well.
