Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Build over ice in old-fashioned glass.
  2. Stir gently.
  3. Garnish with orange slice.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the Negroni Sbagliato

Sbagliato means 'mistaken': at Milan's Bar Basso in 1972, Mirko Stocchetto reached for prosecco instead of gin.

Missing something?

  • No Campari? Use Aperol (Lighter, sweeter and less bitter)
  • No Sweet Vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
  • No Prosecco? Use Champagne (Drier and toastier)

All swaps for Campari, Sweet Vermouth and Prosecco
