Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup champagne chilled
  • 0.3 cup porter chilled

Equipment

    Directions

    1. Pour the Champagne into a flute or other tall glass.
    2. Pour the Guinness on top. (Guinness is heavier. If you mix it the other way around, it won't combine evenly and will need to be stirred.)
