Celebrate the luck of the Irish with a Black Velvet cocktail – the ultimate St. Patrick’s Day celebration upgrade! Two icons, one iconic drink: Guinness and Champagne. The Black Velvet layers smooth and rich Guinness with crisp, effervescent Champagne to create a drink far greater and more regal than the sum of its parts. This 2-ingredient, magical drink was conceived in a bar in London in the late 1800s. It’s velvety, complex and effortlessly elegant and proves Irish tradition and a little luxury were always meant to meet. Pour slowly, relish the sip and enjoy!
This St. Patrick’s Day, skip the green beer and opt for something a little more special. My Black Velvet Cocktail recipe comes together quickly, uses simple and everyday ingredients and couldn’t be easier to make. So, let me show you how it’s done! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
