[my Public Service Announcement]
I recently read about someone drinking a “black velvet,” which is half Guinness and half champagne. Naturally, I had to try this. We just happened to have both on hand, too. In case you are wondering, I read it in a book, not online, and it was a memoir, not fiction, although these days those lines blur…..to put it nicely, Mr. Frey.
Let me just save you the time, friends — Don’t Try This at Home!
In a word: blech.
And I am not anti-Guinness. Why, not that long ago I learned to make black and tan’s and had the photo to prove it. And those are yummmmmy.
And purdy, too, huh?
I have also been known to enjoy what a friend called a snake bite — half Guinness and half cider.
But, black velvet….keep it as a fabric in your life. Or maybe a song. Or maybe artwork. (stop me before I hurt myself!)
But not a drink.
And if you cannot resist making one, tell me what you think! Blech, right?

What a shame such a name is wasted on a lousy drink. I’ll take your word for it.
So true, Jeff! I’d recommend keeping these beverages separate. It’s just safer that way.
I am just so impressed that you had both on hand.
