Negroni Sbagliato Cocktail Recipe

Meet the Negroni Sbagliato, the viral cocktail that took the internet by storm. "Sbagliato" translates to "mistaken" in Italian, and this delightful mistake resulted in a modern classic. The story goes that a bartender accidentally reached for a bottle of sparkling wine instead of gin while making a Negroni. The result? A lighter, bubblier, and incredibly approachable version of its bitter parent. Combining the bittersweet complexity of Campari, the herbal richness of sweet vermouth, and the festive fizz of Prosecco, the Sbagliato is the perfect Italian aperitivo. It’s less intense than a classic Negroni but just as sophisticated.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill and Prepare: Begin by filling a rocks glass or tumbler with ice. A large, clear ice cube is ideal as it melts slower, keeping your aperitivo perfectly chilled with minimal dilution.

  2. 2

    Build the Foundation: Pour the Campari and the sweet vermouth directly over the ice. Building the drink in the glass is the traditional method for this classic Italian cocktail.

  3. 3

    Add the Sparkle: Gently top the mixture with chilled Prosecco. Pouring slowly ensures the bubbles are preserved, giving the Negroni Sbagliato its signature effervescent lift that makes it "mistakenly" brilliant.

  4. 4

    Combine and Garnish: Give the cocktail a single, gentle stir to combine the ingredients. Over-stirring will cause the Prosecco to lose its fizz. Garnish with a fresh slice of orange to complement the bittersweet notes of the Campari.
