History of the Black Velvet.
This famous drink was invented in 1861 at Brook's Club in London. Prince Albert
had died, everyone was in mourning and the story goes that the steward at the club,
overcome with the emotion of the occasion, ordered that even the champagne should
be put into the mourning and proceeded to mix it with the Guinness. The taste was so
delicious.  Black Velvet became extremely popular.
