10 January 2021: Negroni Sbagliato
In looking for new ideas for our two-person cooking escapades, I happened on a great website hosted by Sonja and Alex Overhiser, A Couple Cooks. Not only do they cook, they have some terrific ideas for cocktails and this - a Negroni Sbagliato - is one of them. The difference is the trade off of champagne (or sparkling wine) for gin. Make no mistake (sbaglio) - this is delicious!
Don’t skip the importance of a bit of orange peel to counteract the Campari.
Negroni Sbagliato
INGREDIENTS:
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) sweet or semi-sweet red vermouth
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Campari
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) Prosecco, champagne or other sparkling wine
Ice
Orange peel (garnish - but in my experience essential)
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Using a rocks glass, add the vermouth and Campari. Top off with the sparkling wine (Prosecco or champagne), add ice and the orange peel.
