Directions
Negroni Sbagliato cocktail (Wrong Negroni), called just “Sbagliato” by enthusiasts, is a drink much lighter than the original Negroni (the noble progenitor born in the early 1900s) thanks to the presence of sparkling wine instead of gin.
Anyway, the proportions of wine, bitter, and sweet vermouth remain unchanged: 1/3 of each.
In this way, Negroni Sbagliato becomes less aromatic and complex but much more lively and drinkable with a river of bubbles that mix with the complex flavor of bitter and vermouth’s velvety charm. You can also add a drop of angostura to make the drink even more dry and rocky.
History of the Negroni Sbagliato
It was born in the ’60s at the counter of Bar Basso, in Milan, from the creativity (or a mistake?) of the barman Mirko Stocchetto.
