The Negroni Sbagliato Cocktail is a variation on the classic Negroni, an iconic Italian drink born in Florence in the 1920s. Its fascinating history and unique flavor profile make it an irresistible choice for cocktail lovers. The Negroni Sbagliato has legendary origins dating back to the 1970s in Milan. The story goes that the cocktail was created by mistake by a bartender at Bar Basso, a historic bar in the city. While preparing a traditional Negroni, the bartender accidentally used Prosecco instead of gin. However, the result turned out to be delicious and the cocktail quickly became popular among the bargoers. Since then, the Negroni Sbagliato has become a fixture in bars around the world, celebrating its accidental history with every sip.
