Description
The Negroni Sbagliato (Italian for "mistaken" or "bungled" Negroni) is a wonderful variation of the classic Negroni. According to legend, it was created at Bar Basso in Milan when a bartender accidentally poured Prosecco instead of gin into a Negroni. The result was an instant success: a drink that retains the bittersweet complexity of the original but is significantly lighter, more sparkling, and more approachable due to the carbonation of the Prosecco. A perfect aperitif.
Preparation
- Fill a tumbler glass with large ice cubes.
- Pour the Campari and sweet vermouth directly into the glass.
- Stir gently to combine the ingredients.
- Slowly top up with the well-chilled Prosecco.
- Garnish with an orange slice.
