Orange twist
The Negroni Sbagliato is a delightful variation of the classic Negroni that replaces gin with prosecco. It’s lighter, more effervescent, and perfect for warm weather or as an aperitif.
History
The name “Sbagliato” means “mistaken” in Italian, referring to the story that this cocktail was created by accident when a bartender reached for prosecco instead of gin. The result was so good that it became a classic in its own right.
The Perfect Balance
This cocktail is all about balance - the prosecco provides effervescence and lightness, the Campari adds bitter complexity, and the sweet vermouth brings herbal sweetness. Together, they create a truly unique drinking experience.
Tips for Success
- Use a high-quality prosecco (or other sparkling wine)for the best results
- Campari is essential for the bitter component
- Sweet vermouth should be fresh and of good quality
- Serve in a rocks glass with plenty of ice
