If there’s one thing to love about Italian culture, it’s aperitivo hour. The Negroni is a classic Italian apéritif, traditionally made with gin, Campari and vermouth rosso – but you can put a sparkly twist on it with the Negroni Sbagliato. This recipe uses Italicus, an Italian liqueur that is part of the rosolio family, traditionally made from an aromatic flower. It was one of the original aperitivos from Italy, and when you mix it with prosecco and garnish with pitted green olives, you get something truly delicious. 

In 1919 or 1920, Florentine playboy Count Cammillo Negroni came into his favorite watering hole and asked the bartender for something stronger than his usual drink. The bartender replaced the soda water with gin in the Americano and named it after his patron. The Negroni was born. Typically the drink is made with equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth.)

Later (so the story goes) a bartender was preparing a Negroni for a cusomer and somehow mistakenly added sparkling wine to the drink instead of gin. This new drink was called the Negroni Sbagliato, meaning ‘mistaken’ or ‘wrong’ or ‘bungled’. It too is delicious, slightly bitter, and refreshingly bubbly. A delicious mistake.

Negroni Sbagliato

1 fl. oz. Campari
1 fl. oz. Sweet Italian Vermouth
1-2 fl. oz. Sparkling Wine, such as Prosecco

Pour all ingredients into an ice-filled glass and garnish with an orange wedge.

prosto i efikasno, mada meni prilicno sladunjavo, vise volim opore koktele a od slatkastih iskljucivo one sa likerom od narandze ili blue curacaom

Ovo ne deluje tako lose, ja recimo volim vermut da pijem, jedino sto ga nikad nisam probala sa mesavinom nekog drugog pica.
