Negroni Sbagliato

The Negroni Sbagliato, originating from Italy, is a delightful twist on the classic Negroni, traditionally known as 'Negroni Sbagliato' in local parlance. This cocktail is a beloved choice in Italian aperitivo culture, often enjoyed before meals to stimulate the appetite. The Sbagliato, meaning 'mistaken' in Italian, was born from an accidental mix-up when a bartender substituted gin with sparkling wine. This refreshing cocktail features the vibrant bitterness of Campari, the sweet complexity of red vermouth, and the herbal notes of gin, topped off with a citrusy orange garnish. Perfect for gatherings or a relaxing evening, the Negroni Sbagliato embodies the essence of Italian conviviality and sophistication.
