Equal parts champagne and stout beer, this mixed drink is as easy as they come but tastes like nothing you’ve ever had. This cocktail is a great way to use up any open bottles of champagne left after you throw a party; the smooth brew complements the bubbles in a way that you’d never expect. This recipe is all about the proportions; you can make any number of drinks you want as long as you have enough of both ingredients.
