GUINNESS, (so good you have to spell their name in caps) has partnered with culinary alchemists, Bompas & Parr to create this sophisticated new cocktail, and it's perfect for St Patrick's Day (March 17). A unique twist on the classic Black Velvet cocktail, the Black Velvet Royale (not with cheese, Samueal L Jackson fans) consists of GUINNESS, champagne and a splash of cassis.
As part of the innovation process, Bompas and Parr effectively identified four crucial flavour release agents that truly enhance the flavours of GUINNESS meaning this beauty delivers a sophisticated taste sensation that teases out the caramel and chocolate flavours.
GUINNESS. Is there anything it can't do?
