Negroni Sbagliato
Negroni with bubbles
A Negroni made with Prosecco instead of gin — lighter, effervescent, still beautifully bitter. The happy accident that became intentional.
Ingredients
- 3/4 oz Prosecco
- 3/4 oz Campari
- 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
Method
Pour Prosecco, Campari, and Sweet Vermouth over ice in a rocks glass. Stir gently. Garnish with orange wheel.
Created by Mirko Stocchetti at Bar Basso, Milan, in the late 1980s when he accidentally reached for Prosecco instead of gin while preparing a Negroni. The name "sbagliato" means "mistaken" in Italian. Per Difford's Guide #2515. Notes: The drink remains Bar Basso's signature; the 2022 viral "Negroni Sbagliato with Prosecco in it" moment (HBO House of the Dragon) dramatically expanded global recognition.
