Equipment

  • Bar Spoon

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Stout Beer chilled
  • 4 ounces Champagne or sparkling wine chilled

Instructions

  • Start with the stout. Pour the stout into a pint glass until it's about halfway full.
  • Slowly pour in the champagne. Slowly pour the champagne over the back of a spoon into the glass. This will help the champagne float on top of the stout and create a distinct two-layer effect.

Notes

  • It's crucial that both ingredients are well-chilled. Chilling the champagne and stout will ensure that the cocktail is refreshing and has the perfect balance of flavors.
  • Pour the champagne in slowly. Pour the champagne slowly to create a beautiful layered effect. A fast pour will blend the champagne and stout together, and you'll lose the unique look.
  • Gently mix the champagne and stout. Use a bar spoon or let the drink sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If you take a sip right away, the drink will taste like a regular Guinness beer. However, if you stir the drink, the flavors will combine and create a delightful, bubbly, and sweet taste with fruity notes from the stout.
