Negroni Sbagliato
The Negroni Sbagliato is a delightful twist on the classic Negroni cocktail. 'Sbagliato' means 'mistaken' or 'wrong' in Italian, a reference to the happy accident that supposedly led to its creation when sparkling wine was used instead of gin. It's a lighter, bubbly alternative that retains the rich bitterness of the original.
