Negroni Sbagliato

Trade the gin in a Negroni for Prosecco and you get the Negroni Sbagliato, a happy accident that translates to “wrong” or “mistaken” Negroni. The story goes that a bartender at Bar Basso in Milan grabbed Prosecco instead of gin to top off a Negroni. The result was still bittersweet like a Negroni, but also festive and fizzy from the bubbles. This “wrong Negroni” is so right at the start of a meal or night, or to sip on all day or for the duration of a cocktail party. For even less booze, consider the Americano, a highball that trades the Sbagliato’s sparkling wine for soda water.
