Stout meets Champagne

Glass Champagne flute
Method Built

Stout and Champagne in equal measure, layered into a flute. The roasted bitterness of the stout against the wine's dry sparkle is improbably elegant — heavier than a mimosa, far more interesting.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Stout
  • 3 oz Champagne

Method

Half-fill a champagne flute with Champagne. Slowly pour stout over the back of a spoon to layer it on top. Serve immediately, no garnish.
