In Italian, “sbagliato” translates to “mistaken.” The mistaken Negroni, or the Negroni “Sbagliato” was born from an error by a Milanese bartender in the early 70s. While intending to make a Negroni of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, he reached for sparkling wine instead of the gin. Whoopsie…
The result is a refreshing, less bitter, lower-ABV cocktail that is especially suited for warm weather drinking, especially when having more than one (Sbagliato tutto il giorno???).

A Negroni Sbagliato is often served in an old-fashioned cocktail glass over ice or even strained into a champagne flute. The garnish is an orange slice (just like a regular Negroni). I prefer when they are served like a Spritz, in a balloon-style wine glass, chocked with ice. Here’s how to make it my way:
