Black Velvet Cocktail Recipe

St Patrick's Day is the night for Irish brew and all things green, so sidle up and grab a Guinness. Or, if you're feeling fancy pants, order up a beer cocktail like a Black and Tan.

If you're nostalgic, you might want to try an alcoholic spin on a childhood favorite and make a Guinness float (we'll take ours with coffee ice cream, thank you very much).

While those are all dandy and fine, this year, we've got our sights on the Black Velvet Cocktail. The Black Velvet is a  blend of bubbly and brew is sour like a gueuze lambic, full-bodied from the beer, and a beauty to look at, making it our date for tonight's festivities.
