Waitangi Day (February 6th) is a national holiday in NZ and celebrates the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. It is also my wedding anniversary so I’l going to kick off by giving you this recipe:-
Black Velvet
½ pint Champagne
½ pint Guiness
Make sure both ingredients are chilled and pour them both into a highball glass at the same time. Do not stir.
Champagne is to celebrate my anniversary and the Guiness is for the black color. It’s not because I’m in mourning………..it’s because of the All Blacks. The All Blacks are a symbol of NZ that is known worldwide.
Personally when it comes to celebrating I feel that a glass (or bottle) of champagne is abit passe, so last millenium! I’d rather try a Champagne Cocktail – much more fun!
