Ingredients
- Dry Champagne or Sparkling Wine (750 ml / 25.4 fl oz bottle)
- Stout Beer (12 fl oz / 355 ml) – preferably Guinness Draught
- Optional Garnish: twist of lemon peel or fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Chill both the champagne and stout in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until cold but not icy.
- Pour about 4 oz (120 ml) of champagne or sparkling wine into a chilled champagne flute, filling it about halfway.
- Hold a spoon upside down just above the champagne’s surface and slowly pour about 4 oz (120 ml) of stout over the back of the spoon to create a layered effect.
- Optionally, garnish with a twist of lemon peel or a few fresh raspberries.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast and bubbles at their best.
Notes
Chill ingredients well and pour stout slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain the layered effect. Use a tall, narrow glass for best presentation. For gluten-free, use gluten-free stout and sparkling wine. Serve immediately as the layers break down quickly.
