Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.64 / 5
Black On Black is a unique and bold cocktail that brings together the best of both worlds - the rich and malty flavor of Guinness and the fruity and vibrant taste of WKD Blue. Originating in the United Kingdom, this cocktail has gained popularity for its striking appearance and delicious combination of flavors. The deep, dark color of the Guinness combines with the electric blue of the WKD to create a visually stunning cocktail. The combination of the two drinks also results in a smooth and balanced taste, with the bitterness of the Guinness perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the WKD. This drink is perfect for those who enjoy both beer and spirits, and its bold flavor profile is sure to leave a lasting impression.
