Ingredients
Sparkling wine dry – 120 ml
Porter beer – 120 ml
How to make a cocktail
Fill a glass of flute halfway with well-chilled porter.
Now carefully add the champagne, also cold. Pour it slowly over a knife or the back of a tablespoon – then the liquids will not mix, but will settle down beautifully in layers. However, there are those who prefer to pour champagne “in a big way” so that the liquids mix and foam.
* Use the easy Black Velvet Cocktail recipe to make your own unique mix at home. To do this, it is enough to replace the base alcohol with the one that is available.
If you replace champagne with cider or peri, you get Poor Man’s Black Velvet. In it, dark and light will swap places – due to the difference in density. Light sparkles of cider will look elegant and dramatic in the dark density of porter.
Cocktail legend Black velvet
It is believed that the Black Velvet cocktail was invented in 1861 by a bartender at Brook’s in London to honor the memory of the late Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s adored husband. Its name symbolizes the black or purple mourning bands on the mourners’ sleeves.
Black Velvet is also associated with another outstanding personality: they say he was greatly loved by German Chancellor Otto Bismarck. And by the way, it is still very popular in Germany, where instead of porter they take a softer and sweeter dark lager.
