Perfect summer sipper Aperol Spritz

The negroni has been around for a while now. That means there have been all sorts of variations on this equal parts classic drink but none stands out quite like the fizzy sbagliato (also called negroni sbagliato). Sbagliato means foul in Italian but mixing this cocktail is anything but.

The sbagliato recently shot to fame thanks to a viral TikTok clip of an interview with House of the Dragon’s Emma D’Arcy in 2022. Despite some gimmicky trends that can arise from the platform the sbagliato is a certified delicious beverage. It’s been a favorite in Italy for years and a favorite among negroni fans.

The origin of the sbgliato ("spa-lee-at-toh") may have been a mistake but what a delicious one. It was first mixed up by Mirko Stocchetto in the 1970s at Bar Basso in Milan. While making a negroni for a guest he accidentally grabbed a bottle of sparkling wine instead of the typical gin used in a negroni. He decided to combine the bubbles with the Campari and vermouth.
