Negroni Sbagliato With Prosecco: The Internet’s New Favorite Cocktail
A negroni….sbagliato….with prosecco in it. “Oh, stunning”. And we agree, this cocktail is absolutely stunning. This drink has taken the Internet by storm thanks to Emma D’Arcy who plays Rhaenyra Targaryen on HBO’s “House of The Dragon”. When HBO Max’s official TikTok profile posted a twenty-second clip of Emma and their co-star Olivia Cooke talking about their drink of choice, everybody went wild and instantly fell in love. The negroni is a notoriously sexy cocktail, now even more so. However, there is a difference between a normal negroni and a sbagliato negroni. Let us tell you all about it. What’s more we’ll also dive into where the negroni sbagliato with prosecco came from and how to make this stunning cocktail!

Where Was Negroni Sbagliato Invented?
Okay, this cocktail is far from new in the bar scene, however many people don’t know about its origins. In its most basic form a negroni consists of gin, Campari and sweet vermouth. However, the word “sbagliato” roughly translates from Italian to English to “wrong” or “mistaken”. What this generally means is that the negroni has been fudged up and instead of gin, it has prosecco in it. Which if you ask us is a blessing, not a mistake. But either way, this is the main difference. So, saying you would like a negroni sbagliato with prosecco in it would be kind of redundant, but we forgive Emma nonetheless.

This cocktail dates back to the 1970s roughly and comes from Milan. So, let’s go back in time to see how this “mistake” happened. There he was, bartender Mirko Stocchetto, working as usual at bar Basso, which is a historic bar, that’s still open to this day. Stocchetto was whipping up some negronis for his regulars, however when he reached for the gin bottle, someone had left a prosecco bottle in its place. And thus the negroni sbagliato was born or at least that’s how the story goes.

Equipment:
- Glass (whiskey tumbler)

Ingredients:
- Sweet Vermouth 25 ml
- Campari 25 ml
- Prosecco 25 ml
- Ice
To serve:
- Orange Peel
Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Place a bar spoon in the glass and squeeze your orange peel over it. The juices should pour down the spoon. This way you will infuse it with the citrus oil and the spoon will stop any bubble trying to roam over the edges of the glass.
- Take the outside of the orange peel and rub the rim of the glass. Then twist and add to the glass.
- Enjoy!
You can change the garnish according to your liking
