While visiting London, a fellow traveler introduced me to the Black Velvet - a pint glass half full of Guinness and half full of champagne. This morning, I concocted my own version of a beer and champagne drink - half sparkling wine and half Abita Strawberry Lager - and thus, the Pink Velvet was born. The cocktail is spritzy, crisp from the sparkler, slightly strawberry sweet and yeasty from the lager; a good drink.
