Negroni Sbagliato

This variation on the hugely popular negroni became a viral sensation last year after cast members of the fantasy TV series House of the Dragon discussed it on a TikTok video, with reported Google searches for the drink increasing sixfold in a week. The sbagliato (an Italian word for wrong) was created accidentally by a Milanese bartender in the 1980s when he absent-mindedly put sparkling wine into a negroni instead of gin, which should cheer anyone who worries that they’re not doing at-home cocktail making “right”. It’s an agreeably light and refreshing take on the conventional serve. Try steeping chopped berries in the Campari for 48 hours, then straining out the fruit, for a summery twist.
