Black Gold

[Andy008]

I was once told this is a popular beverage in the Tyne & Wear region, served in a pint glass, and comprised of:

One part Guiness

One part Lucozade (traditional, not "Sport").

Is this true?

I've heard of something similar, but it didn't use Lucozade;

Poor man's velvet is one part cider and one part Guiness.

Rich man's velvet is one part champagne and one part Guiness

Needless to say they're very in toxicating so drink carefully kids!!

we used to call guiness with a bottle of babycham in a "Black Velvet"
